Doris is looking forward to getting the garden into shape and Eric has his heart set on a spot of fly fishing. The difference is that Eric is 102, Doris is 87.

Eric says, "We not only had to produce a marriage certificate（證書） but we had to produce evidence that we were in a long and stable relationship!"
