If you are Tony and Jo Fioravante, 86 and 85, respectively, you simply hold on to the original receipt from your stay there 66 years ago.

The Staten Island couple will celebrate their 66 th wedding anniversary Sunday the same way they spent their wedding night, with a stay at the Waldorf Astoria.

The couple, who kept their original receipt from 1948, will also pay the same rate for their room at the exclusive Towers of the Waldorf on Park Avenue, a whopping $15.75.

Hotel rates now start at $799 for suites and $1,299 for presidential-style suites.

The Fioravantes are cashing in on the hotel's long-standing tradition of honoring the original rate for couples celebrating an anniversary of 50 years or more who spent their wedding night at the Waldorf and kept the receipt after all those years.

"We had a party for their 50th anniversary and I noticed the receipt and put it out with other memories," daughter Sandra Fioravante said. "Now that it's their 66 th anniversary, I remembered it and thought I'd get in touch with the hotel.

Wow, 66th wedding anniversary. So happy they kept the original receipt all these years. Very nice, indeed, of the Waldorf Astoria to honor the original rate.
