Ruth and Raymond

Meet Ruth Brummitt, 88, and Raymond Schlup, 82, who married four years ago and still call themselves "newlyweds."

Navigate among three videos that include interviews with the couple and Schlup's original harmonica music.

Update: Final Project

Ruth Brumitt, 88, and Raymond Schlup, 82, call themselves "newlyweds." They tied the knot four years ago, some forty years after Brumitt's first marriage ended and she vowed to never marry again.

They live on Brumitt's farm about 10 miles east of Columbia, Mo. While they normally attend separate Christian services on Sunday morning, they both attend Brumitt's Rising Sun Baptist Church for Sunday evening Bible Study (seen above, Oct. 18, 2009).

Using video, I've conducted an interview of the couple and captured Schlup's playing his harmonica and singing "Love Song," which he composed more than 50 years ago. I plan to combine these video pieces and sound with still pictures of the husband and wife for chapters of the final project.

I've spent a good amount of time with the two, but I haven't made many meaningful photographs. So, I hope to do so in the next week for the final project.
