Every love shares a story.
Each story has a beginning.

Alumni Couples

 

 

 

 

September 1957
Sanford '66 and Charlotte Darden Reed '65
"We are high school Sweethearts who both decided to go to Southwestern and got married while we were there."
June 1947
Verlon '48 and Mildred Mangrum Feller '49
"It started when I was asked to accompany Verlon and 3 of his friends to sing at a revival meeting at DaVilla United Methodist Church, one of Verlon’s ministerial student appointments near Cameron, Texas."
September 1989
Jon Porter '93 and Nisa Sharma '92
"It all started at Reggae Fedt with Michael Smith and the Killer Bees. We had already met, but that night, we talked on the veranda until the band started packing to go, then we talked for four more hours. After that moment, it was forever."
