On Monday at the El Caribe Country Club, Borough President Marty Markowitz and his wife Jamie raised a glass to hundreds of Brooklyn couples, or “Brooklyn sweethearts,” who have been married for 50 years or more. The two oldest couples, one an Asian-American couple and the other a pair of Holocaust survivors, have been married since 1939. Those who attended danced to the songs of their youth and received wedding cake and sugar-free treats.
