106 seems a fairly advanced age for marriage. But in the port city of Wenzhou a man of that age married a young sprite of a woman, still only 81.

Pan Xiting met his bride Chen Adi eight years ago, and she has taken care of him since then. Pan Xiting was quoted as saying after the marriage, ‘Now, we are a family and we will never separate from each other until death.’ Incidentally, Pan Xiting does not appear to have an identity card and there seems to be no hard proof that he is, indeed, 106. He might only be, say, 102.

The couple is among the oldest to have ever married.

In 2002, Francois Fernandez, 96, and Madeleine Francineau, 94, exchanged vows at the rest home Le Foyer du Romarin, Clapiers, France — giving them a total aggregate in years of 190, according to the Guinness Book of World Records — three more than Chen and Pan.

Our illustration is NOT of the happy groom. But it is of a 106-year-old man. This is Guo Cairu practising Tai Chi on a community square in Nanjing, east China’s Jiangsu Province.
