Guinness World Record recognized the couple in December.
Bernie Littman and Marjorie Fiterman met in 2014, at their senior living facility’s costume party in Logan Square. Littman, a former engineer who tutored middle schoolers in math to keep his mind sharp, and Fiterman, a retired teacher, were drawn to each other. Both were intellectually curious with degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, and both participated in plays and social activities at Fountain View, the Logan Square retirement center where they live.
Before it ended, Littman, dressed in a tweed jacket with tan suspenders and a white rose pinned to his lapel, gripped the sides of his wheelchair and stood to break a glass, the final act in a traditional Jewish wedding. Sicherman said Littman had practiced the moment to make sure it would go smoothly.
