Dale Connelly: Some enchanted evening ... sharing stories from our listeners of unlikely romance arising from unexpected circumstances. Beth Gilleland: After living in MN for over a decade, I decided I needed to take the plunge and get a kayak. I did an online search, called a number listed, and was sweet-talked into coming out and at least taking a look at this gentleman's collection.
The boat was great, but also the salesman was extremely charming and assured me that he could offer the most personalized service for my purchase. Jim Ed Poole: (suave) If you tip over, give me a call. I'll be right there. BG: So ... I ended up buying one.
Wanting to further impress me, we made a date to go sailing. The electrical wires hooked up to the trolling motor caught on fire. One moment I was thrilling to the ride across the waves, the next I was witness to great billows of black smoke pouring out from close to where I was sitting. JEP: Not to worry! We're surrounded by water! BG: This added drama and excitement to our union, while offering a test to gauge how well we both withstood considerable stress. And where are we now? We'll be sailing around the British Virgin Islands just in time for Valentine's Day.
