M for Marriage

The longest marriage in Singapore is 77 years. Remarkably right! The man was 21 when he got married. Now the man is 98 years old and the lady, 94. And the interesting thing about this couple is they don't raise their voices at each other, but they were never seen holding hands either. They say they chat frequently, watch television together, do almost everything together. I guess that is why their marriage lasted so long.

Oh but I'm more interested to remember what the anniversaries are called :
