We met briefly on a few occasions on campus at our local community college, which turned into a few harmless dates. The fun began to grow, and we both became more serious. Our love endured a short long distance relationship, moving in together, and Jackie shipping off to Texas via the Air Force. Marriage was something we brought up, and it turned out we shared common values. After seeing all that what have endured together, the hi's and low's, the next natural step was a union of us. A few small things have prolonged this day in the making, but we are now here!
