Connect How did your love story begin?

We are High School sweethearts from rival cross-town schools and encountered each other half a dozen times before we directly spoke. On the fated day, as I stood in the lobby of his school, chatting with a friend, Chip approached, lifted the hair from my neck, and kissed me on the neck! My first words to him were, "Hey! I am not a piece of meat!" He apologized, and I allowed him to continue the conversation because he was so contrite! Also - I was still tingling. We've been inseparable since.

What would you do with $20,000?

Use it for our 50th anniversary/11th Wedding to bring friends and family from around the world to share our joy. We are not wealthy, so the vast majority of the weddings listed above were just the officiant and us. We share stories of our exploits all the time, but haven't yet been able to include our closest friends on the day. We would also use some of that money to create a book sharing our secrets to a life as perpetual newlyweds.
