An adorable centenarian couple are keeping their romance alive by sticking to a tradition of a McDonald's date once a week.
Every Friday, 101-year-old John Carroll and his wife Jerry, 100, share breakfast at a Tennessee McDonald's.
They are familiar faces at the Murfreesboro location near the corner of Compton Road and Memorial Boulevard.
They catch up with friends over the same go-to breakfast meal.
'We have breakfast down here every Friday morning with our friends,' John, a World War II veteran, told News Channel 5.
'For breakfast we usually eat the egg McMuffin with sausage,' the veteran added. The pair likes to add a slice of tomato to spice up their sandwich.
The breakfast bunch has grown and changed over the years, John said, but they still gather in the back of the restaurant.
They're welcomed warmly by the staff every week.
'We just love them,' general manager Christina Crisp told the outlet. 'They've been here for a long time.'
The couple recently celebrated two milestones - Jerry's 100th birthday on June 28 and their 80th anniversary on April 18.
The soulmate pair have shared more years together than McDonald's has served its iconic breakfast.
John told KOCO News their decades together have included plenty of challenges and joyful moments.
They say treating each other well and working hard has kept their marriage strong.
'Treat your wife nice,' John told the outlet. 'Try to help her all you can and work hard. That's all we've had our ups and downs over the years, but we still made it.'
Ahead of his 101st birthday last December, the war veteran shared his secret to a long life with News Channel 5.
John credits exercise as the key to living a long, healthy life.

“Live to 101! Only at McDonald’s!” Come try the new McCentury!
I know 70 year olds that look worse
That must be an old picture.
Exercise,Work Hard and Be Nice....
Got It
Thanks
Now-a-days some in their 50’s look like melted cheese.
So eggs and sausage is the secret to a long life. You don’t see many vegans living to 100.
UK Daily Mail removed the link.
Here is another link
I think they’re on to something;-)
‘We have breakfast down here every Friday morning with our friends,’ John, a World War II veteran, told News Channel 5.
‘For breakfast we usually eat the egg McMuffin with sausage,’ the veteran added. The pair likes to add a slice of tomato to spice up their sandwich. Good for them I crave it once in a while.
I can’t believe they’ve lived that long living on McDonald’s slop once a week.
“That must be an old picture.”
Wrong. It is from a video where they are talking about their 80th anniversary and celebrating America’s 250th.
Same thing I thought, wow, they look great!
“I can’t believe they’ve lived that long living on McDonald’s slop once a week.”
The egg McMuffin is actually pretty good.
Not slop at all.

I mean, it’s not healthy.
Nothing at McD’s is.
I find McDonalds breakfast food, McMuffin and breakfast burrito, seem to be decent. I think because you can’t really mess up eggs. OTOH their burgers and chicken sandwiches seem to keep deteriorating in quality.
I agree that the safest bets for decent food from McDonalds is probably their breakfast items.
Still, you can do a lot better.
Burger King fully loaded croissant!
