Soulmate couple aged 101 and 100 celebrate their 80th wedding anniversary

A California couple, both over 100 years old, celebrated their second ruby wedding anniversary by raising a glass to 80 years side by side.

Jennifer McMullen, 101, and her husband Mel McMullen, who is set to turn 101 in June, gathered with loved ones this week at their retirement community in Whittier, where the couple still lives together.

They first laid eyes on each other nearly a century ago, became engaged just six weeks later and married in 1946, eventually raising three sons together in Southern California.

'I think we've held it together pretty well and had a wonderful family, so I'm most proud of my children and also our lasting love,' Jennifer told ABC 7 News.

Family, friends and community members celebrated the couple’s 80th wedding anniversary Wednesday with a champagne toast honoring the history they've lived together.

'I was born in 1925, and she was born in 1924,' Mel said, before admitting that 'aging together is the best part,' according to the outlet.

'I'm over 100 years old but what I was doing when I was 18 is still a part of history, so that is worthwhile,' he added.

The pair reflected on their extraordinary achievements throughout their lives, beginning in the World War II era, when they each made significant contributions of their own.
