Celebrating more than 8,000 years of love at Brooklyn Borough Hall
BP Adams fetes ‘Golden Couples’ for Valentine’s Day
More than 150 couples who have been together 50 years or more celebrated their combined 8,245 years of love at a Borough Hall Valentine’s Day party — complete with lunch, dancing and a photo booth — on Friday.
“Brooklyn is here for you, and Brooklyn loves you,” Borough President Eric Adams said as he led a toast.
Adams pointed out a retired police officer, a table of Holocaust survivors, and couple Sara Hill and William Douglas, who have stuck together for 67 years – the longest love affair in the room.
