How We Met:

We met while working for Eastern Federal Corporation at the Plaza Theatres in Chapel Hill, NC.  Justin had been working for the theatre since 1993 and Bich started in the fall of 1998 while she was attending UNC-CH. Fueled by a crave to see the next big Hollywood movie of the week, we both worked many late hours at the concession stand and in the booth as we were both certified motion picture projectionists.  During the idle time between show times we passed the time quoting movies and getting to know each other.  We always looked forward to the weekly "screening nights" where friends came over to get a sneak peek at the newest films after hours.  Several years passed and our friendship continued to grow but it wasn't until after we both left the theatre and entered the adult world that we pursued a relationship together. 

The First Date:

Our first date is highly disputed as Justin considers it was on March 9th, 2002 with dinner and a movie (what else?) at The Streets of South Pointe.  On the other hand, Bich considers the first date attending a retro 80's dance at The Cat's Cradle in Carrboro almost a month later.  Regardless, we both feel our relationship would not have grown if we had not been great friends over the years beforehand.  It truly does make a difference..
