We have been married less than a year (had our courthouse wedding July 30, 2009, then our real, big wedding December 20, 2009). We have a long and interesting story, which is probably more than anyone has time to read, but for those who are interested, this was on our wedding website (written by DH! love him!):
It was August of 1995 and Josh had just arrived to the U.C. Berkeley dorm, Ida Sproul. He was a transfer student, with two years of university ahead of him. Kim, a sophomore at Berkeley, happened to be the Security Coordinator at the same dorm. To break the ice, the dorm?s management had set up a number of games, including a competition where new students were encouraged to compete with one another by saying ?chubby bunny? with as many marshmallows in their mouths as they could manage. Josh didn?t win the competition that night. But he would come to win something much more wonderful, as he somehow managed to catch Kim?s eye. Kim was impressed that he was willing to embarrass himself, since no one else on his floor would volunteer.
A few weeks later he applied for the job of Security Monitor, for which Kim was the primary interviewer and manager. He got the job, mainly by correctly noting that the appropriate thing to do when confronted by a threatening Berkeley street thug is not to try to take matters into his own hands. And he got the job, despite his having stayed up all night waiting in line for David Bowie concert tickets (and telling Kim that during the interview).
While that year was not without romantic intrigue, our friendship really began when Josh started writing Kim the next summer, while crisscrossing the country on a Greyhound bus. That friendship turned into romance the next September, when the school year started up again. Kim was a Resident Assistant at another dorm, and Josh was living in a greasy Berkeley co-op, Casa Zimbabwe. We were best friends, lovers, and study nerds: it was busy but wonderful year, as all day writing sessions were punctuated with dates, dinners, music, dancing and even a little bit of travel to Half Moon Bay and New Orleans.
But it was also a hard year: our romance was stifled by the fact that Josh felt determined to spend a year backpacking across the globe. Upon graduation we split apart, not to find each other again as partners in love for a dozen more years. However, in those intervening years, we became good friends: Kim came to U.C. Irvine to get her Masters degree in English. At the time Josh was living with his parents in Irvine, while in pursuit of a Ph.D. in Philosophy at U.C. Riverside. And while over those years we also found ourselves in relationships with others, there remained unsettled feelings: the memory of those warm, young Berkeley days continued to haunt both of us.
Finally, in January of 2009, Kim and Josh found themselves single, employed, and harboring the deepest possible wish to settle down with each other. Kim was a social worker in San Francisco and Josh was teaching philosophy in Florida. Although our love has many dates which might be called a beginning, the beginning of forever happened on the phone, on Kim?s birthday. Long phone calls precipitated trips across the country, a summer in San Francisco, a move to Florida, and a December wedding in Berkeley, just one block away from the dorm where we first met.
