Six-Word Memoirs with SMITH Mag

Valentine's first date. Married 30 years!

Backstory

My wife was the daughter of a missionary preacher while I was stationed in Germany. She came to live with her parents, and it was love at first sight (at least for me). Our first date was the church Valentine's banquet. I proposed a few days later, and she accepted. Our 30th anniversary was this past June.
