Where did you meet your husband?
Deseret Towers, freshman year at BYU. Ben was one of those smart kids who graduated from high school early. He was in Rebecca’s freshman ward, and when all of the other guys left on their missions after freshman year, Ben was still 18. I lived across the street from him and one day Rebecca introduced us. We looked like this:
What was the first thing you said to your husband?
No idea. Get real, that was 10 years ago. “Hi”? “Nice to meet you”? “Your roommate is weird”? “What’s with all of the National Enquirers hanging on your walls”? Probably something like that.
Where was the first kiss? First date?
The first kiss was outside the dorms, January 21, 1998. That’s four months after we met. First he dated my roommate for a few months. I guess you could say it wasn’t exactly love at first sight. And I have no idea where the first date was, if there was one. The romance is killing you, isn't it?
Did you have a long or short courtship/engagement?
We dated on and off for 5 years (including the mission), then officially got engaged on Easter Sunday 2002 and married on June 28, 2002. I’d say that means long courtship and short engagement.
Where did you get engaged?
Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Colorado
Where did you get married?
Los Angeles Temple. We looked like this:

How did the reception go?
Fine, thanks. If I had it to do over again, I would get cooler flowers, but it was pretty fun. A string quartet played for the first hour and my all time favorite band, the Boney Mountain Mamas, played for the second hour. You really can’t go wrong with the Mamas.
How was the honeymoon?
Fun! We went on a Caribbean cruise and ate a lot. Also, we snorkeled, scootered around Cozumel, and gambled a little bit. If I had that to do over again, I would definitely find a cruise ship with a Flowrider.
I tag anyone who wants to play. Is that too lame?

Kim, I didn't even think that first picture was of YOU! You can't beat freshman romance and old photos. I love your story and I love your new template. Basically, you rock.
you guys look so baby! and i love that there is a ball chain necklace poking out of your shirt in that sweet snowboard photo. those were the good ol 90s.
Aw shucks, you're making us blush.
Wow, check out that waistline Kimmi...you are a megababe. I want to share an embarrassing story about your courtship with Ben, but I won't. This is Marlo. We were almost sisters when your aunt dated my dad.
It was the Weekly World News, not National Enquirer.
former friend???
