Eric Spencer Fielding(BA'09, MS'10) and I (BS'11) were set up my sophomore year on a blind date for his fraternity formal (DKE).

We are looking forward to celebrating with all our Vanderbilt friends at our wedding this summer.Elizabeth Gagliano
My husband and best friend, Tim English, and I met freshman year at Vanderbilt. Went on a blind date to a haunted house where Tim was showing around Freshman football recruits. A year later while studying in the Science Library Tim asked me on our first official date- Homecoming 1976. I had given blood that day and the sticker read "Be nice to me today".Sally English

My wife and I began dating senior year, in Fall 2004. We graduated in 2005 and married in 2009. I earned my law degree from the University of Michigan in 2010, and she earned her PhD in Sociology this Monday from the same place. Moreover, my little brother and his girlfriend of many years (they're 99.9% going to get married) are currently together in Vandy's Biomedical PhD program. :)Dustin Faeder
My husband is from India and I am from Germany. At the very first day at Vanderbilt we sat next to each other in Wilson Hall for the International Student Orientation. We never thought we would marry the person in the seat beside us. We owe our beautiful life together to Mr. Vanderbilt and the ISSS. Thank you so very much!! It is a great University and an amazing country!Daniela Dora
I met my fiancé, Morgan Shaw '07 '13, in the fall of '04 during an HOD 1200 class. She thinks we met the following fall in '05 when we studied abroad together in Florence, Italy.... But we both agree that our first date was sky diving in the Swiss alps followed by dinner where "we" ordered fondue (I hate fondue). Our friendship and eventually our love continued to grow when we arrived back on campus that spring. Happily, after 7 years, 4 cities and 2 grad schools we are getting married in October. We have Vanderbilt to thank for bringing a girl north and a guy south.Michael DiOrio

Amy Sweyer (Reed) and I met during our junior year. We lived across the way at Chapin. One night my roommate , Chris Kelley, and I decided to call Amy and her roommate, Michelle Alexander, to come over and listen to AC/DC and we had a great time. The four of us had a great time together for many months until Amy and I started dating. We've been married 22 years and our daughter just got accepted to Vanderbilt class of 2017. Our family would not be here if it was not for Vanderbilt.Dave Sweyer

My fiance and I are currently seniors at Vanderbilt, and we met in early September of our freshman year at a fraternity party at Kappa Sigma. We started dating shortly thereafter, and we got engaged this past July on Wyatt Lawn outside of the dorm where we lived together freshman year (West House). We are enjoying our last semester here before we get married in June and begin our adventures in medical school and the marketing field, respectively. She has made my college experience here amazing, and I am so lucky to have her this Valentine's Day and everyday!Brian McGrath

Kristopher J. Vaughn and I repeatedly kept running into each other fall '98 semester at mixers, "The House", the computer lab, and en route to class. One Wed. he told me his picture would be featured in the Vanderbilt Hustler Newspaper in article about work study--that's how I finally found out his name!lol I took a chance the following weekend and gave him a call; he ask me out on a date the next weekend. We went to Accolade at homecoming and have never looked back. After 8 years of marriage and 3 children, our love and life together is still full of the fun and adventure that brought us together 15 years ago at Vanderbilt.Mary H. Vaughn
Kelly Brandon Sebes and I met in 2003, played laser tag with some mutual friends, went on our first date in March of 1994, and married in 1997. Brandon, class of 2030, and Clarissa, class of 2032, have already been told it's the best place to meet your love.Marc Sebes
I was long distance dating my husband while he was at Rollins College in Florida. He made the trip up about once a month and we fell deeper and deeper in love while at Vanderbilt. 31 years and 3 kids later we're still in love. Beth '81 VUSNBeth Pembleton
We met Freshman year at a Vandy Basketball game. We had our first date a week later (another basketball game). We started holding hands on the way back to our dorms after that first date/game. We have been together ever since. May will mark our 25th anniversary. We got married just following our Sophomore year (perhaps not the original plan, but it worked out fine). Our son who was born during our junior year graduated from Vandy 2 years ago. Go Dores!Christopher Russell McCord

I met Joe Folk at the ZBT House on Valentine's Day 1990. I was dating one of his "brothers" at the time (oops). I was hungry and my then boyfriend said, "Joe is taking people to Wendy's right now. Go with him." I didn't know who Joe was, but I went outside and looked for a car that was leaving. I saw it, opened the door and looked at him, and it felt like I had been hit in the head by lightening. I said, "I'm going to marry you." He said, "You're crazy." I said, "Maybe, but I AM going to marry you." He didn't even know my name or why I was getting in his car. We built a very good friendship over the next year, and then with blessings and good-will from my ex boyfriend we had our first date on January 21, 1991. We never looked back and got married November 25, 1995. We still have that cassette tape that was playing in the car the first night we met, and he still thinks I'm a little crazy.Angel Killen Folk
My husband Lance and I met during our first semester of law school. He saw me at Visitation Day, and then we ended up in the same section and the same smaller group for our Legal Writing class. This year, we will celebrate both our ten-year wedding anniversary and our ten-year VULS reunion.Cara Tuttle Bell

I met my boyfriend walking into Furman hall freshman. As itmturned out we were headed to the same PoliSci class. Each day that semester we would make the (all too short) walk from Furman to our Kissam dorms slowly getting to know each other. Ever since he opened the door for me that January of 2004, we've never looked back. Now nine years later, we're marrying October 2013!Brennan McMahon
While I didn’t meet my wife at VU, a Vandy event brought us together for the first time. My sister, who attended another Middle Tennessee university, came to my VU graduation and then spent the night with one of her college friends near campus. I picked my sister up the next morning and briefly met her friend, my then-future wife, for the first time. It was nearly two years later after I returned to Nashville before we finally started dating. In another Vandy tie-in, we finally became engaged while she was doing an internship at VUMC. Our 25th anniversary is in a few months.Tony Fagan
I met Chuck Schmelzle walking down frat row in October of 1988; we were introduced by Laura Colorito Stipkala. Our first date was at Sub Base followed by Jonsey's. That was twenty-seven years and three children ago!Sue Niknejad-Schmelzle
Robert and I met at a sorority/fraternity pledge swap fall of 1964. We were the last two people standing without dates. We began dating our junior year and married two weeks after graduation in 1968. Forty five years later we still have fond memories of our Vanderbilt years. Our daughter and her husband also married while students at Vanderbilt Medical School.Diane Davis Fleming
