I had known one of my wife's cousins all my life. She was playing matchmaker. I was taking up money at the gate of a high school basketball game. Her dad coached the girls team. I recognized her when she came into the game. After the girl's game ended her dad formally introduced us. I gave her a ride home after the game that Friday night. 1st real date was Saturday. We were both 25; been married 40 years now.
I had actually seen her a week earlier. She had a younger brother that played basketball at a local college; where I had graduated. I was at the game when she came in and sat on the opposite side of the gym. From across the gym I wasn't terribly impressed and didn't make a move to introduce myself. Changed my mind when I got a closer look.
