The Sayville Alumni Association has achieved a major milestone as a result of literally years of research on the part of our Historians committee. As of today, we have identified and verified a total of 500 Sayville High marriages. Yes, 1,000 Sayville High alumni took the plunge and married another Sayville High alumni.

Quite a few people are shocked to find out that 500 marriages have taken place in the last century.

In light of this, why do people marry people from their own localities? Some explanations include the fact that people tend to find comfort and security in marrying someone from their own locality. This is because of the shared culture and traditions, common language, and shared values. They also feel that it’s easier to build a strong bond with someone from the same area. Values associated with a home town are often deeply embedded in people, and these values are passed down to the next generation. Marrying someone with the same values can create a strong foundation for a marriage. Additionally, marrying someone from the same locality can also help to keep family ties connected and strengthen them.
