Hey there, Ms. Viv ‘Nim Fanaticals!As promised on Friday, September 2, 2011, today’s blog is a special wedding present for Duane Walter Anoai and Sarah Elizabeth Douglas. We have taken the liberty of highlighting some of the cutest couples, all of which have stood the test of time.
Bret & Susie Douglas literally ran into each other on the campus of South Carolina University in 1977. After becoming college sweethearts, they decided to tie the knot on July 12, 1980. Within this union were born three children, with one of them being our precious bride-to-be, Sarah Elizabeth.
Brandon & Jeanette Anoai met in 1976 in the most unlikely of places—jury duty. Neither one of them were chosen on the jury due to their strong convictions regarding domestic violence, but as fate would have it, they had their first date later on in the day. After getting married on May 21, 1979, they reared three children—one of them being young Duane.
Frank & Clara Roberts were on opposite ends of the spectrum, ironically sitting next to each other at a big homecoming game in 1975. The two hit it off nicely upon discovering that Frank was a football star at the University of Nebraska, and Clara was a cheerleader at Oklahoma State University. Although they were adversaries at the homecoming games, it was a totally different story after the final score. The two moved to California in 1978, and raised one daughter. Today, the Robertses are retired and awaiting for some Prince Charming to sweep their daughter off her feet.
Charles & Regina Frazier were destined to be married. Charles was a laid back career-oriented Mississippian, and Regina was a sweet, sassy New Orleans native. They met at a Chicago diner in 1995, got married in 1996, moved to Southern California in 1997, and had their first and only child in 1998. Today, Charles is the co-owner of Chuck’s Delta Dinin’, and Regina is a registered nurse at the Culver City Children’s Hospital.
Paul & Edith Takashi were both born in Tokyo, Japan, but didn’t meet until they moved to the United States 1999. Paul was a high school algebra teacher, and Edith was a dentist. As fate would have it, Paul had a toothache and he went to Edith’s office. One thing led to another, and they got married. They are also parents to healthy twins—a boy and a girl—both born on Father’s Day 2010.
Clark & Vivian Jones met and fell in love in Memphis, Tennessee in 1958—in a car accident. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but both agreed that it was love at first sight. The two got married in 1962 and raised five children, whom they nicknamed the Rambunctious Five. Realizing that their children needed a better life, Clark and Vivian stepped out on faith and moved to Southern California. Sadly, Clark passed away in 1996, but his wife still wears her wedding ring as a constant reminder that The Lord blessed her with a charming, darling sweetheart of a man.
These are just six examples of love that stood the test of time. We have no doubt in our minds that come September 17, 2011, Duane and Sarah will study these examples and write their own history book on love.
Until next time, take care and God Bless.
