Robyn Schlater (left) laughs at something her husband, Ben, said as they swap teaching stories from the day on Dec. 4. 

Ben said he knew he was going to marry Robyn after their third date. “I thought she was making stuff up. ... She kept saying she liked all the things that I liked,” Ben said. “She said she liked classic rock, and I was like all right.” Ben put Robyn to the test by asking her what song was on the radio; she promptly answered that it was •Skid Row’s “18 and Life.” “That’s when I knew it was for real,” he said.
