I met my wife when I was in first year University. It was last 1987 and we were still 19. We met at an audition for a play, it was a dinner theatre staging of Christopher Durang's Titanic. When I walked into the audition, I was met by the smiling face of my future wife. At that point she was the stage manager. I remember the moment clearly.
I got the part and, as it turns out, so did she. The director had trouble casting the role of Lydia and liked L's read on the character.
It wasn't until January, when rehearsals started, that I started spending time with her. One night after rehearsal we the cast when out for a beer. We were sitting at the corner of the table, next to each other. We both laugh about this now, but when our knees touched beneath the table, neither of us pulled away. We both took it as a sign.
Not much more than a week later we were dating.
That was over 20 years ago.
