Mike Boudet

He was a bit of a mama's boy.

Angie wanted something more.

Angie had large aspirations in life and had the work ethic to achieve them.

The last thing she wanted to do was waste it with a mama's boy.

She needed a man instead, with similar life goals.

Her uncle, though, suspected that maybe she'd already met him.

Thank you for letting me know.

That's when Jared Dykus showed up.

He was quiet, but there was something about him.

Put it that way.

Here's how his dad, Rodney, remembers the first time Jared met Angie.

He had a career as an electrician, and more importantly, didn't have to ask his mom for permission every time he did something.

He was also white, with bright red hair, which earned him the nickname Rojo around Chepes Meat Market.

In case you didn't know, Rojo is Spanish for red.

They talked constantly.

Video calls, voice messages, that sort of thing.

They were falling in love.

I'm just the uncle.

If Angie wanted to marry Jared, he wasn't going to stand in her way.

By this time, she was 21 years old, a grown woman who could make her own decisions.
