The "Not So" Newlywed Game
After a fine prime rib dinner, Bill hosted our own version of The (Not So) Newlywed Game. The four teams consisted of Brian and Linda Jakel, John and Angie Fears, Kevin and Suzie Dewahle and Biddy and Kathy Essenpreis. Testing their knowledge of each other, our contestants were faced with questions concerning the strangest gift received from their spouse, the morning personality of the wives, what first attracted the husbands to their wives and much more. The game, filled with laughter, concluded with Kevin and Suzie walking away with first prize.
Congratulations, couples and thanks for being such good sports.
