Carolyn and Howard Revis have worn their wedding bands every day. Jade Bangle
To them, their gold bands are not only a symbol of their love for each other, but a reminder of the kindness of one local businessman who helped them starting out as a young married couple.
Their long lives together began with a secret: In January 1956, while still in high school, the two decided to “slip off” to Gaffney and get married. Their decision was to keep their marriage under wraps until after they graduated from high school. Jade Necklaces
“Carolyn hates having to take her wedding band off,” said Harold. “I’ve tried to buy her other rings to replace that one, but she says it’s the only ring she wants.” Jade Jewelry
To thank the man who was so kind to them, the couple recently visited Griffith at his store. The businessman was happy to learn that the couple still wore the bands he helped them out with years ago. Jade Rings
Griffith and the Revis’ caught up with each other during their visit, with the jeweler giving Carolyn a ring to go with her band.
