PLAINFIELD TWP, Mich.,–Bob and Joyce Cline were among the hundreds braving the crowds at the Meijer in Plainfield Twp. Tuesday afternoon.

The couple says the weather has been so bad lately they didn’t know if they would be able to make it to Lansing to see their family on Christmas day.

They were out shopping to find presents for their great grandchildren. It will actually be Bob’s first time meeting them, the couple just got married about 30 days ago.

“A friend brought us together, he needed someone and I needed somebody and they brought us together,” said Joyce. The two lost their spouses a few years ago but have since found each other, this will be their first Christmas together.

“We wont be alone and we’ll have a little family with us,” said Bob, making this holiday season a little more meaningful for them this year.
