Couple finds love 'in all the wrong places'

*Names have been changed
All love stories have a beginning. For Mitchell Cornell and Linda Lee Wheeler, their story began at the ************ County Detention Center.
"I was in county jail," he said. "She was in county jail."
"In 2005," she added. Since Cornell had a detail job that would allow him to move about the jail facility, he was able to catch a glimpse of Wheeler.
"I looked up at her and something in her eyes just melted me," he said. "We fell in love writing letters to each other in jail."
"Our song is 'Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places,'" he said. "And we found it." Both agreed that their time incarcerated led to their marriage.
"If I wasn't there and she wasn't there, then we wouldn't be where we are today," he said.
"We couldn't wait any longer," he said. "We had to be one."

This post is just to prove how "in the sticks" I really live.
It gets even better.
This was on the front page of the "bi-weekly" paper.
As the highlight article.

Did you not see Friday's paper? How we met at the Babtist Revival?
Stop reading the local paper it is a "bi-weekly" reminder of this dreadful place we call home-remember ignorance is bliss!

I didn't see the revival headline. I haven't seen the second edition this week. How is THAT news? Isn't there a revival on some corner every weekend?
