When he first saw his future bride, she was only 5 years old. He was 15, and both were living in Iran. There’s been a little water under the bridge since then. Mohammad Mohyeddin is now a spry 107, his wife Ashraf is 97, and on Thursday they celebrated their 77th anniversary, seated companionably side by side on a couch in the Thornhill condo where they live alone. Family members were on hand — but there wasn’t a lot of fuss in the neat-as-a-pin apartment, festooned with photos of an extensive family that includes eight children, 20 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Mohammad is not a man for fussing, and neither is his wife. Theirs was an arranged marriage.
