Sue and Rudy met while working at McDonald’s as teenagers in high school back in 1994. She agreed to hang out at his house with some friends and watch a movie that they picked out together from Blockbuster Video - Forrest Gump. That night they shared their first kiss (the first of many over the years). Instead of dating, they ended up becoming best friends who spent many late nights at the local diner enjoying great conversations over coffee and sharing a cannoli. After watching the movie “My Best Friend’s Wedding” they (ironically) agreed that when they were 37 and if they were still single they would get together and get married (they thought 28 was too young). Throughout the years Rudy and Sue were always each other’s “backup” date. Any time one of them was single and needed a date to a wedding or a function, they’d ask the other to go. They slowly drifted apart as the two of them got involved in more serious relationships, although they never fully lost touch. After several years, they reached out to each other to check in on each other during a rough patch in their lives. They decided to get together for some drinks, and had a wonderful weekend rekindling their friendship. They started spending more weekends together, and both started “catching feelings”. Once they both admitted it, more adventures soon followed. Road trips across the Northeast to Spartan races on the weekends. Weddings. Parties and gatherings. Beach vacations. Spending holidays with each other’s families. So many brunches.
