In life, how many people do you meet on the phone and immediately become best friends? Think back to how many people end up marrying that person, very few. Krickitt and Kim met that way. It was just a normal day for Krickitt at Jammin Sports in California, little did she know that her next phone call would change her life. "Ring, ring!" Krickitt answered the phone. On the phone was Kim Carpenter, a complete stranger, who called to order a jacket. A few days passed and Kim decided to call to verify the order, Krickitt answered the phone again. On the third call to verify his order, Krickitt told him she would be free the next time he called, then gave him her home phone number. The next day Kim called Krickitt. When she answered, she was very surprised that he had actually called. They talked for a few hours. They quickly connected and began calling each other every night until their phone bills reached $500 a month. Finally, after months of conversations, Krickitt decided to take a trip to see Kim in New Mexico for the first time. They both immediately understood that they were made for each other. When May arrived, Kim planned to visit Krickitt in California for fun, but it turned into a magical time in their lives. On the second day of her trip, Kim decided to propose to Krickitt. Kim went to his apartment one summer evening in a suit and tie, knelt on one knee and said the four words every girl wants to hear: "Will you marry me?" Krickitt immediately said yes. After the proposal, they scheduled their wedding for September 18, 1993. It was already September 18, the night they had been waiting for. Krickitt walked down the aisle wearing a stunning white dress. They made beautiful promises that moved the guests and said, “I do.” The ne...... middle of paper...... each one better. After that session, they went out to dinner creating memories that they would both cherish forever. In another session, Mike, their counselor, told Kim that he should ask her to get married and have another wedding. At first Kim thought it was unreasonable, but after reviewing his thoughts he decided to propose again. On May 25, 1996, Kim was again at the altar with his beautiful bride. Even though they promised each other that they would use the same rings, they both found rings that were unique to each other. Shortly after the wedding they went to Maui for their honeymoon, where Kim and Krickitt made new memories. After their second marriage, they made the covers of People, The London Times and Us. They were on many TV shows like Oprah and Insider Edition. Their story has touched many and given couples support in relationships. They went on to have two children.
