How did your love story begin?

We both frequented a nightclub called Barry's in Warwick, RI back in 1980. Unbeknownst to Cindy, an acquaintance of hers came up to me (Dean) in the club stating that Cindy thought I was handsome and would I like to meet her. Naturally, I said yes and when I saw her, the sparks flew! From that moment on, our souls have been intertwined.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

There are too many to mention! Our favorite would have to be the birth of our son. Throughout our lives the one constant that continues to surprise us is hearing the song Shining Star by The Manhattans. It was the first song we danced to at Barry's. It came on the overhead radio while sitting in a coffee shop the night we first got back together. It played on the car radio when we were riding to our first "date" for our second sequel and now, those lyrics are framed on our bedroom wall.

What would you do with $20,000?

As our anniversary is May 24th (married on the same day both times) - which we recently celebrated - we would go on a 13th/3rd anniversary trip to Italy. A trip to Italy has been a dream of Cindy's since she was 18 years old and I've always enjoyed making her dreams come true.
