The Golden Wedding Game

It's The Newlywed Game, only for people married at least 50 years. All of the contestants at the 1 p.m. game had been married either 51 or 52 years.















From left to right are:
Earl and Mary Cotton of Oregon City
Dick and Myra Bennett of Canby
Roger and Jan Gardner of Gladstone
Jerry and Rhondi Myra (didn't hear their city)
Lyle and Donna Pierce of Canby

What follows is a collection of moments that capture the agony and hilarity of the game.















Dick Bennett doesn't say anything (out loud) when Myra gets the wrong answer.

Roger and Jan Gardner had a great time.

But probably not as good a time as Jerry and Rhondi Myra had.

That particular wrong answer really caught Myra by surprise.

Earl Cotton can not believe Mary gave that answer.

Well, one of them has a sense of humor about it.

Lyle Pierce drew the biggest gasp of the game when he answered the question, "What was the worst meal your wife cooked when you were first married?" He said, "That's hard because she makes so many things badly." He got off the hook when Donna came back and admitted she couldn't cook when they got married.

Here Donna explains why an early chocolate cake was so bad.

The Myras never stopped having a good time.

Oops, there's another wrong answer for the Bennetts.
