I thought it was just my family who called them that, but I was wrong.<br />They are incredibly cute, lead worship, Sunday school. He fills in for the minister when she goes on vacation. They are "mergers" along with her brother and sister. A term to describe the incredibly high percentage of couples who marry from the college (state not Christian) that we all attended. When a homeless person interupted them on the way to a wedding reception, they didn't say "sorry no cash" they gave him some after they held his hand and prayed for him. One fellow member said she did well with sermon against envy until the closing song when she watched Barbie struggle to keep her pants from falling off her size 6 hips. (Women understand this. Amen?) And just in the past year, they adopted a baby from China after taking their kids to an SCC concert. Oh and what gets my Mom is how Ken and his brother in law are always sitting with & hugging the in-laws during church.<br />Wow, it takes a lot of words to describe them.

I married into the Arch Rival family because I wanted to be a super Christian, JUST LIKE THEM.

About three years after the wedding, I found out that the Super Deacon Dad had been sexually molesting the Super Oldest Girl for quite some time.

And things went downhill from there.

I'm divorced now. They still look pretty perfect, but some people know the truth. I learned a lot about myself along the way.
