Another reason...

....that I love living in Minnesota is that we have goofy stuff like the "Runaway Bride 5K" in Fergus Falls. The ladies start first, and the men try to catch them starting five minutes later. Wrist bands tell singles whether the person they just caught up with is single or married. Who knows, maybe somebody will find the love of their lives there.

Crazier things have happened, like falling in love while putting up sheetrock.

Wow, I should go to MN and enter this race. Putting up sheetrock eh, guess that was how you met your wife?

Actually, that was our first date. We met at a wedding.

Oh, and sad to say, the race is over, but you can visit the two story outhouse in LaSeuer.

Wait, your first date with her was putting up sheet rock? I guess whatever floats your boat:o)

There's actually something to be said for it; all of the standard deceptions of courting/dating go out the window when perspiration and dust overcome makeup, fashion, perfume/cologne, mood music, and such.

Plus, I think my wife looks great wearing a tool belt, jeans, and work boots.

I bet all the "standard deceptions" also go out the window if you might happen to meet a gal at the two story outhouse or the SPAM museum.... :^)

(I'm guessing you're single....apologies if I'm wrong)

Ah, a very good point indeed. You see each other not at their best b/c marriage while great is not rosery all the time, at least from what I hear and read. Thanks for sharing. Now I will go to sweaty dirty places and do my search.
