My best friend Jennifer from high school met my (now husband) on a BBS - bulletin board system. This was pre chat room; the very beginnings of the internet. They made plans to go to a show at a nightclub. Jennifer invited me to come along but I kept saying no. Finally, I broke down and agreed to go. When we pulled up to his parents' house he was standing outside and it was love at first sight for me. We talked and danced all night.
A couple of days later I was at his house again and I was looking at some of his books. He had put his initials inside one of them. I noticed that we have the same first and middle initials and that if I ever married him we would have the same exact initials. That cinched it for me! I knew he was the one. A few days later on April 19th we had our first date (I still have the movie ticket stub). Exactly one year from that date on April 19th, 1997 we were married.
