Bowling Green couple marries 2/2/22 at 2:22 p.m. & WWII vet born 1922 gives life advice

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Even though Valentine’s Day is over, love is in their air on this rainy Twosday.

Three happy couples called the Warren County Clerk’s office, all deciding this Twosday Tuesday would be the perfect time to tie the knot.

Marc and Elizabeth Glass took it one step further. They officially became husband and wife right at 2:22 p.m. – and why?

“We just wanted a special day for ourselves,” said Elizabeth with a new ring on her finger.

Marc added, “We just thought it would be pretty cool to have twos across the board with doing it… and then in October we’re going to have the actual wedding and everything.”

And as wedding officiant Slim Nash pointed out, a “Twosday” like this won’t happen again until 2422 – 400 years from now!

While Marc and Elizabeth celebrated their love, one family celebrated the miracle of life.

Baby Juana Melisa Quino Sorto entered the world on 2/22/2022.

This baby girl was born on this lucky Tuesday at T.J. Samson Hospital in Glasgow.

Where Juana has a big world to see ahead of her, one man has almost a century of wisdom behind him.

Bowling Green legend, 99-year-old Robert Hayward Minton was also born in the year ’22… 1922, that is!

Minton has lived a lot of life in the century spanning the two twenties decades.

“It was my job to feed the pigs,” Minton recalled of his youth. “I remember it, I was 8-years-old…I was the first one in my family to graduate from high school, and I thought that was a high mark. I joined the navy in 1942, October 9th.”

I asked what his advice would be to Juana, who will be his age in the year 2122.

“’Don’t smoke, don’t drink’ would be the first two things I can think of. Always work, pay your own way, don’t get in debt, throw the credit cards away.”

But most of all…

“I just hope she has a good life,” Minton said.
