They married the following year on Oct. 15, 2005. Although their relationship began by way of technology, the couple enjoyed spending time together driving the back roads through the country. Navigation wasn’t always a strong suit. Through this marriage, he accepted a daughter by choice and they exchanged jokes and gag gifts and enjoyed many adventures.
