How Did You Meet?
MATTHEW: I never would have thought I’d meet my future wife in a dark, dingy basement! I was just looking to hang out with the guys at my friend’s party, but after spotting Faye, I knew I had to talk to her. As I watched this striking, bubbly girl fail miserably at flip cup, I saw my chance and offered to teach her how to play. FAYE: For the record, yes, my flip cup skills are terrible and Matthew did give me some coaching—but I suspected he wasn’t there to teach me how to play flip cup, he was using it as a pretense to ask me out to dinner! Not that I’m complaining as I was thrilled he was talking to me, so thrilled in fact that after making dinner plans, I completely forgot his name. I was too embarrassed to ask him again, so on our first date, I stealthily stole a glance at his ID and he never knew (until now)! MATTHEW: I admit it might be true about approaching Faye with the intention of securing a date, but after learning she forgot my name, I think we’re even. FAYE: And now I’m going to marry a man whose I name I couldn’t remember—I promise not to forget it at the altar!
