I met my husband at Stanford. While getting to know each other, we used to eat lunch outside near the library, where he worked (and still does). I would meet him in the library and we'd walk out together. I'll never forget the day when as we were leaving the library at lunchtime, Henry's colleague Jane Vaden asked, "And where are you lovebirds headed today?" and we told her we were headed to Redwood City to get married at the county clerk's office. She was so excited because we hadn't told anyone at work, and she was the first to learn the news.
