We met at Shorelane's bar (bowling ally) and I saw him line dancing. I wanted to know more about who this person was, so I began to ask around. He thought we were going to have a one-night stand, and look 24 years later, we are finally getting married!

Artie and I found each other 24 years ago. We began dating, he had one son, Christopher, and I had three children, Paula, Ricky, and Cody. Ricky and Cody immediately bonded with Artie and our life began. Casey came into our children's lives and so for the most part of growing up, we always had Casey, Chris, Cody, Ricky, and sometimes Paula on our wild adventures. We were able to successfully raise all of our children and get to see our grandchildren come into the world. Artie and I maybe squeezing the knot finally, but we have both known we were soulmates from day one after meeting. We are both so very excited to spend another 20 plus years as man and wife and continue our wild adventures with one another and the extended family.
