Couples are coming together to serve up laughs, food and a few pointers on marital bliss with the “Not-So Newlywed Game” event, scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 9, all to benefit the work of Samaritan Counseling Center of Southeast Texas.
The fifth annual Not-So Newlywed Game will feature five local couples vying to outwit their opponents at the Beaumont Event Centre, 700 Crockett St., beginning at 6 p.m. with dinner and drinks as the couples answer questions about their spouses of 10 years or more.
This year’s celebrity couples are Ray Callas, a Beaumont anesthesiologist, and wife Lisa; attorney Brent Coon and wife Lisa; Frank and Katie Celli; 136th District Court Judge Baylor and Lindsay Wortham; and Orange Mayor Larry Spears and wife Trisha.
