I looked up from his resume to ask a routine question and "The Voice" said "Pay attention, you are going to marry him!" I almost laughed out loud but managed to compose myself, since I was HR and all.

I actually remember thinking, 'we just have to wait for our wills/emotions to catch up to our reality'. Sure enough, six months later engaged, six months later married and 1 month before our first wedding anniversary we got our first kid born'd :) Mary Wilkersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895931413075965922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-9873840807947795742013-07-12T08:49:10.052-06:002013-07-12T08:49:10.052-06:00What a great story.

I love the crazy detail about the voice saying "you're dancing with your husband." <br /><br />And I didn't marry my type either - skinny, hipster boys who love music. Travis lifts weights, wears t-shirts and polos, and questions half my music choices. But he's the perfect husband.
