The Story So Far

If you will recall a question posted a few days ago, this blog left you all pondering how it was that Vince and Becky came to be together. Turns out that the question was somewhat of a trick question - all of the choices except answer D played a role, although those who know Vince would not be surprised if Kool Aid somehow played into things. :)

On New Year's Day of 2005, a good friend of Becky's and classmate of Vince invited us to her house for some food and cards. Becky came to see her friend, and Vince came to play Euchre. Neither Becky nor Vince anticipated what was to come from this introduction, though we each enjoyed the evening. It wasn't until that summer when Becky was home from college that Vince gave her a call and we went to see Polish Dancers at the Three Rivers Festival.

While driving back after the festival, the Billy Joel song "You May Be Right" came on the radio. Remembering the song as the theme for a short-lived sitcom in the 90's about Dave Barry, Becky asked Vince if he ever used to watch "Dave's World." To both our surprises, we had both seen the show and were both big Dave Barry fans. Vince, shocked and amazed, decided Becky was cooler than he had anticipated.

From there, the two of us dated for quite some time, and the rest was inevitable. :) On Feb. 13 of this year, Vince proposed to Becky as we were cross-country skiing at Metea Park in Leo-Cedarville. As amateur skiers, neither of us is all that coordinated at it yet! Vince, always striving for originally, fell down in the snow and held out a ring as Becky cluelessly took a photo of him! Shocked and excited, Becky also fell down and of course, said yes. Ironically, one technique of getting up after falling has been referred to as the "marriage proposal." (See Step 3).

Throughout the time we have known each other, we have had many adventures, and we continue as we plan for our big day and look forward to our lives together. :)

(Note from Vince: picture from said proposal is only rumored to exist and will most definitely not show up at our wedding. Nope. Not a chance.)
