I do, I do: Tennessee couple gets married for the 108th time

Wedding No. 107, at the Hard Rock Cafe in Louisville, Kentucky.

Lauren and David Blair are very committed.

The Hendersonville, Tennessee, couple just renewed their vows for the 108th time.

The couple first wed 30 years ago and have earned a Guinness World Record for their impressive number of "I dos."

"It's something that keeps renewing our love so that we know it's really there, so fights and stuff are just meaningless," Lauren, 63, said of their frequent renewals.

"They're really, truly saying, not only do we want to break a record, be unusual but we really want to commit ourselves to our relationship and the love we have," Mayor Anthony Holt told WKRN-TV after performing their most recent renewal service.

"The world's most married couple" are already planning their 109th renewal.

The Blairs wed – for the first time – on May 6, 1984. The next two ceremonies followed shortly.

"We were living in Los Angeles, and we wanted to get married in a particular place there," Lauren told TODAY. "David's parents are from [near] here, in Nashville, and they won’t fly. So, we had a wedding on a Sunday in Los Angeles; flew to Chicago on Monday, and had a wedding with my family and his family; and then we had a get-married-for-free coupon when we went on our honeymoon in Las Vegas."

It wasn't long before they started wondering about the record for most marriage vows renewals – and then decided to break it.

Since then, they've exchanged vows all over the world, including Niagara Falls, Las Vegas, London, at a steak restaurant in Aruba and at a blacksmith shop in Scotland.

"We've done it on every numbered day of the month," Lauren told TODAY. "So, every day is our anniversary."

The Tennessean lists the dates and locations of all the renewals here.

"The first time we got married was the best time, but each one of our weddings is really meaningful," Lauren told the Tennessean. "We allow the minister or whomever it is to write his own vows for us, and some of them have come up with some really great ones."

They broke the record for most weddings after marrying 58 times. Then they kept going.

"It's just something that we're very much in love, and we thought that this would be one way that we could really share that," Lauren said. "We just really love each other and David loves looking into my eyes and saying, 'Yes, I want to marry you again.' "

"We're not going to quit. We're just going to keep doing it," she added. "It just proves that love is still alive and people can stay married for longer than four years."

How do they afford the money and time to keep swapping vows?

Lauren said they don't mind forking over the cash to keep celebrating their marriage.

"We don’t have any kids, and we have plenty of spare time," she said.

The happily, very married bride offered some advice to other couples in it for the long haul:

"You just have to keep the love alive," she told TODAY. "That's why we renew our vows. No matter how mad we get at each other, we always have that going."
