Then and Now: 48 Years After They Were on The Newlywed Game | Soulmate Stories

Self-declared "complete opposites," Jeri and Mike fell in love and got married in the 70s. When she signed them up for The Newlywed Game, a popular game show at the time, they had no idea that almost 50 years later, they would go viral. In this episode of The Knot's Soulmate Stories, Jeri and Mike look back at 48 years of marriage. After they share their experience on The Newlywed Game, we quiz them separately, revealing just how well they truly know each other (just like the gameshow). Then, the couple interviews each other, showing us how their strength as a couple has led to such a long-lasting, happy relationship. Finally, we see them rewrite and renew their vows, and Mike gives Jeri the proposal she always wanted, but he was too nervous to give.
