The dinner was over, the speeches were finished and all that remained for the newly married Dayna and Gary Yendell was a first dance. “We’ve been to many weddings with dancing, and it’s just not our thing,” Dayna Yendell, who works in quality compliance, explained. The couple, who live in Torrance, California, were introduced to video games early in life, and playing games with their parents and friends created memories that affected them deeply. A single sound system played video game soundtracks on a loop while their friends played. What they’ll remember most, the couple said, is the sight of Bozarth’s 58-year-old mother, who was originally apprehensive about the games, laughing after a round of Dance Dance Revolution – and then challenging another guest to a rematch.
