The first time I saw my future spouse:

-

She says:

“He was standing in a Wendy’s doing a remote spot and I was getting free sandwiches.”

He says:

“She was peering in through the window at me.”

On our wedding day: She says:

“I felt like a princess downtown. I loved having a big party downtown and then getting to walk to the Capital Hotel the way we were dressed, in our wedding attire.”

He says:

“I remember the bustle prior to the actual walk but at the point of the actual walk it felt like it was just us. It was like nobody else was there. It was like it was myself, Rebecca and our pastor and like nobody else was there until we had our first drink together and started our celebratio­n.”

My advice for a lasting marriage: She says:

“Find your best friend. And second, on top of that, is communicat­ion. I always say that. I don’t care if you’re yelling or if you’re loving, just talk to the other person. Let them know exactly what you’re feeling.”

He says:

“Getting to know her I found a woman who shared similar interests but yet complement­ed me on my weak areas. Because we’re best friends we can still make each other laugh and I think that’s important, to make sure you have that communicat­ion.”
