As it turns out, there are no official records for 'longest friendship'. However, we believe that it was Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher of North Carolina who held the Guinness World Record for being married the longest time (had been married for 86 years at the time of Herbert Fisher’s death on Feb. 27, 2011). They were married on May 13, 1924.
According to Epicdash.com, they grew up together & they were 'best friends' before they got married. Herbert Fisher’s death was on Feb. 27, 2011 at the age of 105, a few years later in 2013 Zelmyra died also at the age of 105.
