FATED TO MEET AGAIN
A queer chain of circumstances Southport, Lancashire, of David Scott Marland and Christine Honeyburne, both 22. The marriage will fulfil a surgeon’s prophecy. The couple were brought into the world on the same day within an hour of each other by Caesarean operations performed by the same surgeon. As they lay side by side in a ward at the nursing home, a surgeon named Murray said: “Perhaps these two will meet again, fall in love and marry.” The surgeon died some years ago, but Dr. Harold E. Sheldon, who attended both mothers, never forgot his words, although for 17 years there did not seem any chance of the surgeon’s prophecy being fulfilled. During all that time David and Christine never met, and were not in fact aware of each other’s existence. But five years ago they met at a dance, and, without knowing anything of the story of their respective births, they fell in love. At the wedding Dr. Sheldon will propose the health of the bride and bridegroom.
