NEW CASTLE, Pa. (AP) — Four couples with a combined 230 years of marriage have said "I do" all over again at a western Pennsylvania nursing home.

The New Castle News (http://bit.ly/1T8cqjX ) reports the couples renewed their vows in a joint ceremony at the Avalon Nursing Center in New Castle. That's about 45 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.

Keith and Margaret Price have been married the longest, 67 years, while Anthony and Eileen Rizzo have been married for 43 years.

The other couples, James and Marjorie DeBlasio and Donald and Dorothy Jones, have each been married 60 years.

Activities director Karen Borio organized the event Tuesday.

She says she picked the last day of June, a traditional month for weddings, to help the couples celebrate because "I thought it would be something they would enjoy."
