I was 16 and she was 17 when we wed. This August will be 42 years and it gets better daily. We choose each other over and over
Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
At 15, I just knew—like my own name—that she was the one. Life threw us a curve: my family moved from Chicago to Florida in ’84, but love wasn’t letting go. She came with us. By July, our son was born; by August, we were married. They gave us six months. We gave each other 40 years—and counting.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Honestly, after 40+ years, picking one memory is impossible. The highlights? Raising four kids and watching them grow into adults. Those everyday moments are everything. And yes, there’s a special satisfaction in proving all the people, our parents included, who only gave us six months, completely wrong.
What would you do with $20,000?We’d take our entire family—grandkids included—on a memory-making reunion to an exotic place, where we’d build lasting memories and reinforce the values we instilled in our children. The $20K isn’t life-changing, but it’s a catalyst: we’d create those memories and also shore up a few financial obligations along the way.
