September 1957
Sanford '66 and Charlotte Darden Reed '65
"We are high school Sweethearts who both decided to go to Southwestern and got married while we were there."
August 2009
Jason and Katie Sokolyk Catron, both '13
"We met in Alpha Phi Omega and had Spanish class together. We started dating at the end of sophomore year, right after Katie’s birthday, and have been together ever since. We were married on June 27, 2015 in the Lois Perkins Chapel at SU!"
December 1985
Leslie and Laura Michulka Penney, both '89
"I asked Laura to go to the SUB and she said no, multiple times. She said I was a dweeb with funny hair. She later said yes, funny hair and all. The rest, as they say, is history. Other stuff happened in between. We just celebrated 24 years of marriage."
