Ran into some crazies and was frustrated with the type of women I was dating. Needed to re-evaluate what I wanted in life from a mate, and decided to go back to Church.
I was in college and the local Church of Christ there had a decent college presence in its congregation, and Devotionals every Friday night. The second Friday I went my future wife walked in wearing Purple Chucky T's with red shoe laces. I liked the spirit behind wearing them and told her with a smile "Nice Shoes". To this day, she tells people that story and that it was the moment she knew I was the one.
To her horror (seriously) I told her 3 days after meeting her that I was going to marry her. She probably quit panicking and was on board with it within a month or so and we were engaged 6 months later, then married a year later.
Coincidentally our 21st anniversary is tomorrow.
