Tweethearts: Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher |
Centenarians
The Tweethearts, from North Carolina, US , tied the knot in 1924 when Calvin Coolidge was President and America was enjoying the pre-Wall Street Crash economic boom. Now the couple -- both centenarians -- will answer questions submitted via the social networking site on February 14.
The Fishers, who celebrate 86 years of marriage in May, are just one year away from having had the longest-marriage in recorded history.
The record is held by the late Philipose and Sosamma Thomas of India who were hitched for 86 years and 128 days.
The Fishers are already in the Guinness World Records for being the living couple with the longest marriage.
Share love
The couple's grand-daughter, Iris Godette, said they wanted to share their knowledge with the younger generation.
The Twitter chat has been organised by the movie streaming site
