St. Valentine’s Day is known internationally as a day of chocolate, candlelight and romance. Keeping this in mind, VOX decided it would be refreshing and fun to ask MODG teachers how they met their spouses, and to submit a photo of them on their wedding days. So, without further adieu, here are their love stories!
Meet Your Teacher: Meghan Sterett
I met my husband at the wedding of mutual friends. He got my phone number at the reception and came to visit me a few weeks later. We were engaged in four months and married in less than a year! Meghan Sterett ...
Meet Your Teacher: Katie Hunt
I met my husband, David, in Austria, where we were both studying theology. When we first met, I offered to make him a sandwich, since he looked hungry (he's almost always hungry!). He really caught my attention a few days later when he played La Campanella by Liszt beautifully on the piano. We were married 1 1/2 years later! Katie Hunt ...

My husband and I met while attending Christendom College in Front Royal, Virginia. Breana English
Meet Your Teacher: Emily Paluszak
Three months earlier, I had asked God specifically for a Catholic husband. One Sunday morning before Mass, I was going to the choir room to rehearse, and I passed the coffee and doughnut table where parishioners from the earlier Mass had just cleared out . There he was working for the hospitality committee. I was in the running for parish council, and voting was that day. He said, “So, have you pre...

Meet Your Teacher: Rebecca Hyle
My husband, Chris, and I met at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, at a house party. A friend of mine wanted to crash this party where there would be lots of first and second lieutenants, so I went along. Chris happened to be a captain. We did dance, and that was all I thought of him that day until...the next time we met. It has been a wonderful 31 years! My husband said that all he remembers of that party was me....

Meet Your Teacher: Lisa Dixon Frecker
I first met my husband Nick through the young adult group at my parish in Indiana the summer of 2010, just after I graduated from Franciscan University. We took a little while to really notice each other, but after seeing each other at more events, we began dating in the fall of 2011. It took a long time, with a lot of ups and downs along the way, but we finally became engaged in September 2014, and...
Meet Your Teacher: Kimberly McCarthy

Meet Your Teacher: Megan Madden
Josh and I first met in high school when I was 15, and he was 17. Josh played sports, and I loved anything that had to do with theater, dancing, and singing. During his senior year, our mutual friend convinced Josh to try out for the spring musical. And that’s where our story began. We spent long hours after school rehearsals chatting away and becoming the best of friends. The show came and went...
Meet Your Teacher: Alicia McCool
My husband Michael and I were in the same 3rd grade class, but really didn't get to know each other until we met again years later at church. I was then a senior in high school, and he was shipping off to Navy Boot Camp (2005). We have been married for 7 years, have moved 6 times, have lived in 4 different states, and have 3 children. Our married life has been quite an adventure. Alicia McCool ...

Meet Your Teacher: Lauren Fredrickson
I met my husband when I was on a girls' date with my roommate in college. We were going to a movie, and we happened to bump into Brad (my now husband), his mother, and a friend, who were going to the same movie. My roommate and my future husband went to high school together and so there were warm exchanges between all of us. I was dating someone else at the time so I had very little interest in Brad,...
Meet Your Teacher: Pamela Smith
I am a TA for 6th, 7th and 8th graders. I met my husband Joseph at the Officer's Club at Fort Hood, TX. I went there with friends to dance. My husband, an army officer, was at Fort Hood to prepare the Louisiana National Guard to deploy during the First Desert Storm. He and his friends were taking a break from work. We met on the dance floor. Our first date was the day the ground war started. He always...

My husband, Bryan, and I met in the Fall of 2006 when I was studying abroad in Gaming, Austria, with Ave Maria University's SA program.

We had a class together, and became friends, and got married in May 2009. Kilty Gonzalez ...

I met my husband in a college class. On our second date, he brought me a huge bouquet of tiny wild flowers- violets and spring beauties- that must have taken him over an hour to pick. Kay Beers
