Fred Horley, 80, and wife Joan, 79, were given a chrome Morphy Richards toaster on their big day in May 23 1953 and it is used every morning.
Retired Fred told the Sun: "We've gone through a dozen electric kettles in that time but the toaster is as good as new.
"I've never had to touch it. The chrome is still in perfect condition except for a few marks on the top.
"I don't think they make them in such good quality any more.
"We are very proud of it. It really is the best thing since sliced bread."
He continued: "When our daughters were growing up we used it every day and now we have four grandchildren so it's still used all the time.
"We didn't consciously keep it, it's just that we never had any reason to replace it.
"The only other thing I've still got from my wedding day is my wife."
The couple recieved the toaster a fortnight before the the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.
