Anyway, we didn't know what to expect. But as we went through it, I couldn't help but smile at some of our answers.
Q. Describe a moment when you knew he/she was a keeper.
A. Mark - The first night we met, a group of 8 or 9 of us went to In-N-Out. Me being the older, more experienced one, I told everyone to sit down because this one was on me. Liz stayed in line with me and as I paid for the order, they told me my card had declined. I was so embarrassed, but Liz just said, "I got it," and handed over her card. When we sat down, I thought for sure she was going to tell everyone what just happened. But she didn't. And I thought, "Wow, that's really cool."
Elysabeth - On our second or third date, we were in the car, listening to music. Mark was really pompous about his music back then, listening to indie bands that I had never heard of. As I went through his iPod, the only song I knew was Aladdin's "A Whole New World." I began playing it, and as I sang softly to myself, Mark suddenly belts out Aladdin's line: I can show you the world / Shining, shimmering, spleeeeeeeeendid! We just had so much and he wasn't embarrassed by anything.
Q. How has your relationship changed after marriage?
A. Mark - On a very basic level, we just have a lot of fun together. Like, we have a lot of fun together. And it's amazing. On a deeper level, our relationship revolves around our own relationship with God. It's incredible to see how as we draw closer to God, we become even closer to each other.
I know there were a lot more, but I can't remember them. There's a recording of it somewhere, so if I'm feeling brave enough, perhaps I'll post it on here for you to listen to. But there's a snippet of some of the questions & answers.
I'm always blown away by just how much our relationship has transformed, and how deep our love for each other continues to grow. As we're nearing our one-year anniversary (in a week!), I can't help but think this has been our greatest year so far. And yet, we know that our best days are still ahead of us :)
