How did your love story begin?

He was the best man at a wedding I was to be the maid of honor for. The couple that was getting married wanted us to meet prior to the wedding. I was bent over the oven checking on dinner for the 4 of us when he walked through the door (what a way to first meet someone :)). He kissed me that night and our love story began from that night onward.

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

It is so hard to pick just one. I would have to say when we were standing in front of the priest saying our wedding vows. I thought my soon to be husband looked very serious so I made a joke about how I got my dress at a garage sale for 1/2 off, he thought I would want him to be tall and straight so was being that way for me and was trying not to laugh at my joke, and our best man got doused with the holy water used to bless us and tried to nonchalantly wipe the water from his eyes. We all laugh

What would you do with $20,000?

My family would like this answer as much as me. I would pay for all of us to take a family vacation. My husband and I are getting older. Everyone has their own lives, this would be a time of fun and togetherness we could all share.
