April,15,1933 Wayne Fourmont 19, and Elizabeth 20, were married. When their families discovered they'd wed, they predicted the marriage wouldn't last a year, at most. Wayne said with a smile" they were off by 74 years."
Next month, the Fourmonts, now 94 and 95, will celebrate their 75Th wedding anniversary with a family gathering in Decatur. They moved to an independent living center a few months ago to be closer to their daughter, Sally Thicksten. The Fourmonts had three more children before their sixth anniversary.
When they're not with their family - which includes daughter Barbara Crain, 72, of Baltimore, Md., and son James Fourmont, 70, of Aurora, along with 12 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren they still enjoy taking walks and visiting with friends.
Neither Wayne, nor Elizabeth had any trouble remembering their wedding anniversary however, when Congress made April 15 tax day in 1955, it would have been impossible to forget.
"I've been in love all this time," Wayne Fourmont said. "We were meant for each other."
