LIVERPOOL, N.S. — A couple from Liverpool, N.S., is being honoured as one of Canada's longest married couples.
Bill and Bertie Nickerson have been married 80 years and still live in the same brick house he had built for them following their marriage in 1935.
Their grand-daughter, Kerri Nickerson, nominated the couple in a contest run by a Catholic organization that promotes healthy marriages.
She says her grandparents have always been in love and often refer to each other as boyfriend and girlfriend.
Bill is now 101 years old, and Bertie is 98.
Bertie says they've always agreed with each other, and jokes that neither one has decided to kick the other out yet.
