They must have had a really long wait list at the venue they wanted to get hitched at plus savings must have been crazy!
ACTUAL ARTICLE
Next time your fiancée starts to bug you about the wedding date you can comfort her by telling her about Octavio Guillen and Adriana Martinez who hold the record for the world's longest engagemant and quite possibly, the world's coldest feet.
Octavio Guillen and Adriana Martinez were engaged in Mexico in 1902 but kept putting the wedding off over and over again.
After 67 years, in June 1969, Octavio Guillen must have run out of excuses and the world's longest engagement ended with their vows.
They were both 15 years old when they were engaged and 82 years old on their wedding day.

Lol Teresa! I saw this tidbit also but it was in an article that was part of the Yahoo home page yesterday something about biggest wedding records. They had the longest engagement, most marriages (29, I think it was), tallest married couple, shortest married couple, a HUGE wedding cake, and some ridiculously expensive wedding.
