We met on a Friday the 13th, exactly 2 years before our wedding. We were at Ringo's both standing at the bar and ordering a drink... Apparently I had been hitting Russ accidently with my very large bag for sometime before I asked him if he would pretend he knew me to dodge a couple random guys at the bar. That night we ended up at IHOP and split a meal, something sweet and something savory. If you ask Russ, this was when he knew we had something special. After a couple of weeks of dating, he asked me if I remembered the first thing I ever said to him. I couldn't offhand remember, and I started to wonder if I should feel embarrassed when he quickly stated... "You asked if I would pretend I knew you, and I feel as if I have known you forever..."
