Emirates24/7 ^ | Wednesday, August 01, 2012

They divorced in 1964 but always kept in touch

They got hitched while still in their teens, divorced 20 years later and are getting remarried after nearly a half-century apart.

For Lena Henderson and Roland Davis, the second time around is finally here, even if they're both 85.

The Buffalo-area couple plans to get married again on Saturday, with four generations of their family on hand to see it happen.

They better hurry.

They have no time to waste.

Will they be looking for a house near a school?

Okay, I suppose that means after another 32 years I'll be able to forgive that skinny-ass redneck bitch who ruined my life. :-)

Regarding the groom, I'll agree on the forgiveness part.

Wisdom? I think not.

j/k - best wishes to the happy couple.

“Age brings wisdom and forgiveness.”


Age brings desperation and impeding death.

[Is my cynical streak showing?]

Who knows.Perhaps,in time,age will cause both of you to understand what *you* did wrong (few marriage breakups are *entirely* the fault of one party) and will also cause both of you to be more forgiving.

10% of people who divorce and then remarry, marry someone they were married to previously.

The triumph of hope over experience?

Time wounds all heels?

Who knows?

But if it works for them - good for them.

Them having family together (four generations) couldn't hurt.

Guy better buy his new wife a minivan for all the upcoming soccer and baseball games.

“Time wounds all heels”

Possible tagline?

Not likely. The woman is batsh*t crazy! :-)
