Christian and Mary

We're in the more “mature” phase of our adult lives. We’re close in age, so we get each other’s hilarious references. Lots of laughter!

How did your love story begin?

Met a year ago at mutual friends’ 25th wedding anniversary black tie party in Hollywood. She lives in Tucson, I’m in L.A. Despite the distance, we emailed every day until her first visit. I planned a romantic dinner at Castaways restaurant, overlooking the lights of the entire San Fernando Valley. We closed the place down. After we returned to our respective homes to reflect on our 22-hour date, we mutually agreed there was an undeniable spark and this was something definitely worth perusing.

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

Her friend’s wedding in New Orleans- only our 3rd weekend date. I experienced travel hassles such as delayed, then canceled flights & an airport change. I finally arrived at 6:00am. We had two days of exploring the French quarter and getting to know each other better. We danced together for the first time at the wedding. It culminated with the “second line”- the whole wedding party parading through the streets with a jazz band. It was then that I first confessed that I was “crazy about her.”

What would you do with $20,000?

Italy. I’ve never been, she wants to go back. I also need new shoes.
