I was 16 years old and it was the first day of a new school year. Our high school was tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades and I was in eleventh grade, a sophomore. I noticed this gorgeous girl come into class. I remember the day well; it was A Cappella choir. She was about 5’2” around 100 lbs, gorgeous legs and she had this gorgeous long reddish brown hair. She was 15 and it was her first day of high school. I could not take my eyes off of her and I really wanted to meet her. I asked a mutual friend to introduce us. We talked for a bit and started seeing each other.
There was this immediate chemistry between us. We were on and off for a couple of months, then we were ON and really on!! I walked her to class, we talked on the phone every night, we started making out...typical teenage stuff, I know. We were in the school musical together so we were together every evening. We were even singing in the chorus of a local upstart opera group. Then it happened, we became sexually active and she got pregnant. Now what?
All I knew was that I loved her and I did not want to turn my back on her. I wanted to marry her and she wanted to marry me. So in July of 1972 we got married. It has not been easy. We had to get counseling at one point. But today we are still madly in love. We are best friends and passionate lovers. And, by the way, she has not changed much. Her hair is shorter, she is at about 110 lbs, still has those gorgeous legs, and I still melt when she kisses me...and we are still making beautiful music together. I would not change a thing.
