Well, Sarah is from Texas, and Mike was working there for a while. I think he was there for a year or two....anyway, Sarah was the daughter of a rich Texan lawyer, he had his own business etc etc.....and he didn't like the fact that Mike was dating his daughter. When it came time for Mike to return to Australia, Sarah wanted to go with him, so they got a plan going so that she would elope with him.
On the day of the flight, they both get to the airport in Dallas ready to fly off to Australia, and her old man shows up.....he must have found out somehow.
He grabbed Sarah, and tried to drag her out of the airport. As soon as that happened, Mike jumped in and gave her father a right hook to the nose (Mike and Sarah love to relate the gory bits), and that was the end of that.
That happened about 12 years ago, they are married and have a couple of great little kids.
I don't know if her father ever forgave them for that........he was pretty pi$$ed about the whole thing.....hee hee.
You see.....that's what happens when Aussies go to Texas....they get into all kinds of strife.
