Question

Why would someone get married in a cemetery?

Answer

Google says……. Along with a typically lower price tag, cemeteries offer large green space, beautiful buildings or art, and a peaceful setting. An article from NY Times October of 2024 states A New Life Started Where Others Are Laid to Rest “It’s right there in the vows uttered at innumerable weddings each year: “Till death do us part.” So it should come as no surprise that some couples want to highlight their (hopefully) eternal bond by marrying in a cemetery. Cemetery weddings are nothing new. Jews living in Eastern Europe and in the United States sometimes held weddings in cemeteries during times of mass disease, like during the 1918 influenza, in the belief that having the ceremony in the presence of the dead might bring about better times”

Question

How did you meet Jack?

Answer

Near the end of the night while I was working at a fight venue in Melrose, I noticed a very good looking guy in the stage seats. I wanted him to notice me. But amongst nearly a thousand people I thought this would be impossible without acting first. So I did , I made my way over so that I was in direct sight and casually asked him to watch my things as I stepped away for a moment. Now that I had an opening, I subtly asked to take the seat next to him. We connected instantly and exchanged numbers. Although the connection was obvious there were surprises. From a distance I could have sworn he was in his late 30’s, yet the closer I got the grayer his hair became. I didn’t expect that a stranger could instantly feel like someone I had known for years. I never thought I would consider taking someone’s number that lived 2 hours away. I never would have imagined that the line “Take my number anyway, because you’ll wake up tomorrow and you won’t think it was that far after all” would work. The best surprise of all was that he would be the man I would want to spend the rest of my life with, and he would feel the same way.

Question

How did you meet Kimberly?

Answer

Near the end of the night, after coaching one of my fighters at a fight venue in Melrose, I couldn’t help but notice a tall, beautiful girl that was working the event. She was unaware of my presence. I told my friend,“I’m about to throw this roll of tape at her to get her attention.”…and just then she turned to me and asked me if I’d watch her stuff for a moment. I said;“yes”, then I turned back to my friend; “I guess I don’t have to throw this at her anymore.” When she returned, she pointed to the row of empty seats and, not so subtly, asked if they were taken. To my surprise she sat in the one directly next to me. She was playful, fun, and feisty. She was Kimberly. However, beyond all of that I felt an immediate, unexplainable connection and so I convinced her to take my number not knowing I’d just met the love of my life, and future wife.
