Hosts: Emma and Josiah Douglas
Description: late middle-aged, with greying hair and dated clothing preferences. She is rounded, with a sweet pink-cheeked face and hair drawn in a soft bun. He is a little stooped, but taller than Emma. His face shows many laugh lines and smile wrinkles, and his eyes often twinkle with good-natured mischief.
Personalities: Emma is plain speaking, straight forward, and very motherly. She is not thoughtless, but sometimes tends to be a bit too direct. She tends to be more serious than her husband, though he makes her laugh often when he teases her. She mockingly pretends to be upset with him when all the world can see she is really tickled at him. She is extremely fond of her husband, and often shares in tender moments, gestures, and sentiments with him, both publicly and privately.

Josiah is one of those merry souls that doesn't ever seem to quite lose his cool. He finds humor in the most mudane (and sometimes most unpleasant) aspects of life. He learned long ago to laugh at himself, and has taught Emma to do the same. He is simple man, fair-minded and even-handed. He adores his wife and enjoys teasing her just to see her smile. The world is not worth walking on without her, though he never quite voices this opinion in so many words.

History: Childhood sweethearts, they have been married from the tender age of seventeen (Emma) and eighteen (Josiah). Though the years their love has remained in bloom, merely deepening in color and vibrance. Thought old-fashioned by most, they nevermind the ways of the current world and merely live on in blissful co-existence. Their small home is now surrounded by new tract housing, but they don't let it trouble them. Their plot of land is large, with trees and brush and a tidy little garden which Emma tends. They have lived their all their married years, and Emma treasures their house and all its things, as they remind her of their happy years together.

Plot: Josiah brings Emma in to find her a bit of old-fashioned jewelry for her to wear. He enjoys 'spoiling' her on occasion, and has suddenly surprised her with this trip to pick something out. This is what brings them into the shop.
