Because I reading everyone else’s answers on social media, here’s ours:
How did you meet: We met at Grace University in 1997 when we were on a music team together.
First date: He took me on a picnic near Old Main. He had the whole thing planned out and it was so sweet. On our one year dating anniversary, we had another picnic to celebrate. And he proposed (not at the picnic; it was later that night!)
How long together: Together 21.5 years. And we just had our 20th wedding anniversary last month!
Who was interested first? I’m not sure. I tried flirting with him at a couple of concerts but he was pretty shy. Eventually, much later, he worked up the nerve to come sit and talk with me at an outdoor event and then later that week, he came into Godfather’s Pizza (where I was working) to ask me out. After he left, I’m pretty sure I jumped up and down a bit in the kitchen, along with some excited squeals of joy.
And here’s a picture of us from 1999 on a carriage ride through Old Market, from the days before digital photos! (We’re *that* old!)
