"WACO'S SELF-PROCLAIMED SECOND FAVORITE MARRIED COUPLE"

How it Started

"Hello. We are Tony and Kerri Pruitt, Waco's second favorite married couple. We have been together for over 30 years. I first met Kerri in high school; she was an outstanding athlete.

One Saturday night in June of 1987, I saw her at a restaurant bar. After working up enough nerve, I called her the following day and asked her out. To my surprise, she agreed. I took her to a Mexican restaurant and then out dancing. At the end of our date, I walked her to her door and kissed her hand. I felt like a complete idiot, but I later found out it warmed her heart.

We started off as friends. After dating for four and a half years, multiple breakups, and many failed attempts at asking her to marry me, she finally said 'YES.'

I married my best friend on February 15, 1992. Thirty-two years later, we are still married." – Tony

In 2024, Tony and Kerri teamed up with Rogue Media Network in Waco, Texas, to start the comedy podcast 'I Married an Idiot.' On the show, they share their differing views on everyday life and what it’s like being married to each other for over thirty years.
