(JTA) — Two Jewish centenarians in Britain celebrated their 83rd wedding anniversary, becoming what is thought to be the country’s longest married couple.

Helen and Maurice Kaye, aged 104 and 105, celebrated their anniversary last week surrounded by their family at home in Bournemouth, the Jewish Chronicle of London reported Thursday, noting the longevity milestone.

The couple met when Maurice Kaye was a traveling salesman for his father’s clothing business. They have been together for 87 years.

“So much has changed, but we still have each other, thank God,” he was quoted as saying. “We had a great day with fabulous entertainment from our gorgeous great-grandchildren. Now on to the next milestone.”

Helen Kaye said: “I surprised myself how much I enjoyed it,” referring to the anniversary party the couple had at their home approximately 100 miles west of London.

The couple have two surviving children, seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Their daughter, Tina, said her parents were an “inspiration to everyone who knows them and we count ourselves truly blessed.” She described her mother as being “very stylish, having her hair done twice a week and her nails done every Friday,” and her father as still having “the same wicked sense of humor and zest for life.”
