33. At a "All Class" highschool reunion.
Fri Mar 9, 2012, 09:05 PM
Mar 2012

Never met in school, she is five years younger than I. It was my 10th and her 5th and was the first time for both of us to attend a reunion.
Three weeks later I asked her to marry me. Five weeks after that she said yes. Been married for 27 years, we have three fine healthy boys, and she is still the love of my life!
