In the quaint borough of Denver, Pennsylvania, a love story that defies the passage of time is set to unfold once again. Fay Gable and Robert Wenrich, who first tied the knot in 1951, are planning to remarry nearly five decades after their divorce in 1975.
Fay and Robert’s story began long before their first marriage. Robert was the best friend of Fay’s older brothers, and from the outset, he confidently declared his intention to marry her someday. True to his word, the couple wed and embarked on a journey together, welcoming four children into the world. However, as life presented its challenges, they parted ways in 1975, choosing not to disclose the reasons that led to their separation.
Life moved on, and both Fay and Robert found love and companionship with others. They remarried and shared many years with their respective spouses until they eventually passed away. Despite the distance that their separate lives imposed, Fay and Robert maintained a cordial relationship, always seeming to find themselves in each other’s company at family gatherings.
It was perhaps inevitable that their paths would intertwine once more. Carol Smith, the couple’s youngest daughter, describes her parents as being as giddy as teenagers in love. She fondly recalls her father expressing, ‘She was the first love of my life. I never thought I’d get her back. And now that I did, I’m not wasting any time.’
At 94, Robert seems unfazed by the passing years, and his bride Fay, aged 89, shares his youthful enthusiasm. The couple will be celebrating their reunion surrounded by a large and loving family that spans generations. Among the wedding attendees are their 14 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and a pair of twin great-great-grandchildren, along with Fay’s two stepsons.
As Robert passionately remarked, ‘I think we’ll be good now for the next couple years.’ Their renewed commitment is not only a testament to enduring love but also a source of joy and inspiration to their family and the wider community.
This heartwarming tale of rekindled love reminds us that sometimes, love stories do come full circle. As Fay and Robert prepare to exchange vows once more, their journey proves that true love knows no bounds of time or circumstance.
