Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not? – Lauren and Rich’s Story

This is where YOU tell us YOUR love stories!  You know, like how you met your honey… how you found true love after all this time… or maybe even how you finally got back together with the one that got away.  You get the idea – whatever your "happily ever after" is, we wanna hear it!!!

This week's story is from Lauren and Rich in Ohio who writes…

Dear Kix,

We love your new American Country Countdown feature "Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not?" so much so that we felt compelled to share our story. So, here it is:

Rich and I originally met in 1986 when we were students at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. Thankfully, a friend in my dorm convinced me to attend an "Ice Cream Social" on campus.  It was there where Rich and I met…and we ended up dating that entire semester.  We knew there was definitely a future and plan for our life together immediately.

Fast forward to our wedding September 6, 1997… and Rich surprised me and sang George Strait's song "I Cross My Heart” because we’ve always said the words are so parallel to our feelings for one another!  Happy to report that now, we’ve just celebrated 16 beautiful years of marriage this year!

God Bless you Mr. Kix Brooks and God Bless Country Music!

Sincerely,
Lauren and Rich of Toledo, Ohio
