 Program
 

 

With Valentine's day on the horizon, we were treated to a unique version of the Newly Wed Game.  The twist however, was that the participants were not so newly married.  Rotary couples, Tanya and Stan Astrosky, Mike and Deb Jackson, Jerry and Ann Walsh, Mike and Marla Gibson, and Pat and Cyndy McDermott answered a variety of questions.  The answers have not been recorded to protect the innocent, but some of the questions included the following:

For the husbands - 

  • What's your wife's favorite magazine?
  • Who is your wife's celebrity crush?
  • Does your wife think you are a good dancer? - (everyone got this one right!)
  • If your wife was a child, what would you take away from her to punish her?
  • What is your wife's favorite guilty pleasure?
For the wives - 
  • What is your husband's favorite movie?  - no couple got this one right
  • What is your husband's favorite thing about himself?
  • For what thing is your husband most likely to end up in jail?
  • If your husband could create a theme party, what would it be?  (one couple got this one correct)
  • By mistake or otherwise, has your husband ever worn your underwear?  (Every couple got this question correct?)
The bonus question was - where is the strangest place you ever made whoopie?   This question selected the winning couple.  
 
At the end of the questions, our facilitator reminded everyone that it is not about winning, it's about answering the questions.  But, there was a winning couple; and that was Mike and Marla Gibson.
