How did your love story begin?

We were in our best friend’s wedding as best man and matron of honor 45 years ago. They decided we’d make a great couple twenty plus years later after we had both weathered divorces. Neither of us wanted to become involved, lived across town from one another, BUT against my wishes they gave him my phone number. He called. We decided to meet for lunch to get them off our backs. The rest is history. They were in our wedding as best man and matron of honor. We’ve been married almost 19 years.

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

One of our first cruise trips was to the Baltic. The regions we visited and history we experienced were magical. Although we have been on many trips over the years that one particularly stands out. One of our stops was St. Petersburg, Russia. We were amazed at the grandeur of the city but also at the fear we sensed in the eyes of the people that lived there. It was a beautiful yet humbling experience to share together.

What would you do with $20,000?

What else? Book another cruise! The longest one we’ve taken was 17 days out of Galveston, Texas to Barcelona, Spain. We LOVED it. So, we would book an extended cruise, somewhere… Passports are ready! Our mantra: travel for as long as we are able as far as we may dream!
