Fifty years after their divorce, a New York couple is set to take their vows once again, proving that not only is it never too late to find love, but also that sometimes you find it in very unexpected places.
The Buffalo News reports that the Seneca, New York pair married as teenagers and were together for 20 years before they divorced in 1964 after four children together.
The Buffalo couple met in Chattanooga, Tennessee back when they were teens.
One of those children – their oldest daughter, Johnnie Mae Funderbirk – is a big reason they’re back together, the report said.
Funderbirk encouraged her father to move from Colorado back to New York after his second wife died a few months ago, where she hoped he would reconnect with her mother.
The couple never lost touch during their 50 years apart, frequently talking on the phone (Henderson had even counselled Davis’ then-new wife on how to deal with him).
Davis popped the question – again – to Henderson over the phone after deciding to move back to New York.
She said “yes,” and he soon flew to Buffalo with the engagement ring pinned to his shirt out of fear of losing it during the flight.
Davis and Henderson will tie the knot again on Saturday, August 4 at a church in Seneca.
However, the jury is still out on whether or not remarrying an spouse is a good idea.

ReplyDeleteIt's a good re-union, but still a bull shit! Why should they allow for divorce in the first place? Why should they allow third parties to come between them? The marriage vows they took was 'for-better-for-worst'. They have been indulged in adultery for 50 years. But thank God they came back together; our God is a forgiving God!
ReplyDeleteI pray their children don't do same.
What has changed that now made them become attracted to one another? - AJ
ReplyDelete@ AJ: A healthy companionship is equal to healthy lifestyle. When we are young we fail to realise this simple thing. But as we grow older we realise that there is more to life than hating, excessive drinking, smoking, sleeping around, gossiping and so on.
ReplyDeleteThese two were divorced and it was amicable. In the course of getting married and living with their spouses they were still friends. I am not an advocate of divorce. This sort of thing is rare and the least we can do is to be happy for them. True love exists and it happens only to a few people.
