Oh, That's How it Happened

Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but let's date for 13 years, and then get married

Technically Debbie knew Mike before Mike knew Debbie. He was a board member for the Marist College TV club, MCTV -- swoon -- and she was a club member. But, that baseball cap wearing son of a gun graduated without the two of them ever meeting. Fast forward to Debbie's senior year: As the club filmed a Marist student version of "American Idol," Debbie worked a camera and Mike returned to hang out as an alumnus. It must have been Debbie's alluring outfit of oversized pajamas that caught his eye. The two began playful banter and inappropriate jokes that could arguably still be the core of their relationship to this day. That was 2005. What took them so long to get to this point is anyone's guess. Even they don't know. Time moves fast, man.
