This couple take a bite of their wedding cake every anniversary

This is probably the most adorable thing we have seen all day. This elderly couple have been taking a bite of their wedding cake, every single year on their anniversary for sixty years!

Ann and Ken Fredericks from Florida got married in New York on August 19th 1955 and they still have some of their wedding cake left from that day. 

Ann's grandmother made the cake, which is a dark fruit cake that they said still "tastes like cake."

Ken described what they do each year to make their wedding anniversary and it's so sweet: "Every year we do this, usually by ourselves and have a bottle of champagne and we have a piece of cake!"

"Then we have a recording of our wedding ceremony which was given to us as a gift and we try to listen to that also."

The couple don't even refrigerate the cake but they have found the trick to keep it edible for all those years, a coffee can. 

"What we do is we wrap it in saran and we put it in this coffee can which has a very tight lid and we just keep it in the closet over our refridgerator."

Although the cake may have gotten a bit dry over the years, the couple just pour some brandy over it to make it easier to eat and Ann says "A little bit of brandy never hurt anyone."

This may seem a little bit crazy but Ken thinks it has added years to their lives: "Maybe that's the reason we've been around for so long."
