This love story began in August of 2012, with a simple job transfer. On Cristine’s 1st day, Elmer comically introduced himself while slung over a soda machine fighting an illness that resulted in a 2-week sick leave. Although brief their introduction, Cristine already caught Elmer’s eye. A pleasant rapport grew. A rainy night got things moving in the right direction. After bidding Cristine farewell one night, Elmer noticed she was not going anywhere. He approached & found that Cristine was planning to wait out the storm because her windshield wipers were bad. He found this unacceptable and installed new wipers the next day. He explained what he had done but Cristine thought it was a joke. But it turned out that he had actually done this gentlemanly thing! Cristine was charmed by this gesture & the rest is history. Fast forward 5 years, & they are now a loving couple with 5 cats, 2 dogs, a new home & they can’t wait to tie the knot this August!
