Over weekend, my husband and I flew to Florida, and stayed at the house of my father-in-law 's best friend couple. The man is a prominent 'somebody' in Washington D.C. area, and his wife is absolutely gorgeous even for her age. They have been married for 45years successfully.
Over diner, I politely asked them how they met. Here is the story from his wife.
"I went to a charity dance party with a group of my girl friends, and I saw him in the party . He was the hottest eligible bachelor in the area by the time. He was with his date, and she was beautiful. (she said 3 times literarily his date was beautiful.) After a couple of drinks. my girl friends became playful, they pushed me to him while he was dancing with his date. We bumped to each other, and said Hello. It was the start of our conversation. Long in shot, he asked me to go out with him week after, and he proposed me in 6 month."
They smiled at each other, and hold hands.
The wife instantly made the man as trophy (the hottest eligible bachelor) and herself as the true winner (over beautiful girls in the area) to a stranger (me). I realized that she is the most valuable asset in the mansion, and how they could make the wonderful marriage for 45 years.
