How did your love story begin?

As mentioned, we both went to South St to enjoy the Friday night. Hundreds of people were there. The first thing I saw was my handsome guy with gorgeous blue eyes. He was quite funny and I was having a great evening.

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

We went to a dancing party here at NYC AT 10:00. My future was there with 30 other people. Danced all night. Asked for my phone number (no cell back then). Had our first dinner here in NJ. There was rain all night and was crazy! We talked until 2 pm but I offered my date to stay over (not together!) because the rain to Long Island was awful. He stayed😉

What would you do with $20,000?

We have 2 sons who we love so much! We would plan something together to celebrate. However, we care about helping others who need food - I would certainly donate at least 50% to WCK.
