COLUMBUS, Ind. — Just like the dry run of a wedding rehearsal, the winning couple of the fourth annual Not-So-Newlywed Game practiced mock questions and answers over dinner in recent days. But what really helped Chuck and Suzanne Wells find post-wedded bliss at Thursday’s fundraiser at The Commons was good, old-fashioned unity from substantial time together.
“The secret is simply that we are best friends, and we know each other really well,” Chuck Wells said.
Besides their own connection, the Wellses, married 18 years, also showed a solid link with much of the crowd of 275 people because the pair also became the top vote-getters among donors.
“We did spend a lot of time talking about our past (to prepare),” Suzanne Wells. “And that was really fun.”
The charity event is a spoof of the classic TV game show, “The Newlywed Game,” sponsored by Turning Point Domestic Violence Services during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Its intent is to show healthy, lasting, give-and take relationships.
