The Wilkes

We are always learning about each other. We were given the advice to never stop dating each other and we haven’t after 21 years together.

How did your love story begin?

I was at a bar, watching a band play and was wearing a bazooka gum shirt that said don’t burst my bubble. He came up and asked me what would happen if I he did and I responded wouldn’t you like to know. Met him again two weeks later, told him I had a thing for redheads, and we’ve been together ever since.

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

It’s really hard to pick. I think one of our most recent trips with the kids for spring break, where one night we sat outside on a swing and just talked and joked for hours while the kids played, is definitely in the top running.

What would you do with $20,000?

Either some needed renovations to our house or pay off some bills. Maybe take a family trip as well.
