And then as lineup finished, Troy came back to me and he said, OK, are you ready to get going? And before we were leaving the lineup room, Joel came kind of hurriedly over to us. And he said, Troy, don't forget I'm your partner tonight. And Troy just kind of let out this sigh. And then he looked at me and he said, and this is Joel clearly trying to insert himself to get himself introduced to you.

Joel, this is Caroline.

Joel, this is Caroline.

Joel, this is Caroline.

And as I'm approaching my car, Joel kind of almost running out, comes out to me. It was like, hey, I just wanted to say goodnight to you. I know that you're new in town, so I wanted to give you my business card and let you know that if you ever needed to be showed around town or if you wanted a tour of the city, let me know. And I said, I don't need to be shown around this town.

I just took the business card and got in my car. I drove home that night and my mom was waiting up for me. She was like, oh, I'm just so relieved you're home safely. I'd been waiting up. I couldn't sleep. How was the evening? And the first words out of my mouth before anything were, I met the man I'm going to marry.

I went to bed and I fell asleep for a couple hours. And when I woke up, I rolled over and I had Joel's business card on my nightstand and I picked up the phone. This is 1998.

And within 20 or 30 minutes, my parents' house line rang. And after I said hello, the first words out of his mouth were, what took you so long to call me?
