Eric and Suzanne "noticed" each other in the Fall of 1986 in Provo Utah. Eric was teaching at the Missionary Training Center and Suzanne was there for her two months missionary training. They "recognized" each other two years later in front of a Japanese class that Suzanne was enrolled in and Eric was an assitant teacher. The class list was manipulated so that Suzanne was in Eric's class. She received a B+ and an engagement ring. They were married on March 11, 1989.
