In Europe: "Married for 83 Years, Two Belgian Centenarians Set a Record"

"On Friday, January 30, 2026, Eduard, 102, and Angeline, 100, celebrate their wedding anniversary, setting a European record for longevity. Married in 1943, they are now surrounded by 24 grandchildren and great-grandchildren."

The wedding took place discreetly.

In the midst of World War II, on January 30, 1943, Eduard Cuyvers and Angeline Haeseldonckx vowed love and fidelity to each other. "It was a strange time," they said.
