Denise (Huthmacher) `16 and Chris Tripp *15

 Denise (Huthmacher) `16 and Chris Tripp *15


I started at Malone University in the summer of 2011. My now husband, Chris, and I were in Malone's marching band. During band camp he asked me out, to sit with him at lunch, and even just to give me a ride up the hill from the Johnson Center, but I kept denying him. He eventually gave up and started dating someone else, but secretly I was in love with him I just wasn't ready to get into a relationship. Eventually I graduated and moved out of the state. When I moved home a year later I found his profile on Plenty of Fish. I was curious about what he was up to, but I didn't want him to know I looked at his profile. I bit the bullet and looked at his profile and discovered he was still living in the area. A few moments later he sent me a message with his phone number telling me to text him some time. I basically told him to get lost because I didn't want him to know that I still liked him. Five years later we're married with two dogs and a 6 month old son.

Jennifer (Tubaugh) `94 `01 and Jason Bruce `96

 Jennifer (Tubaugh) `94 `01 and Jason Bruce  `96 While we were both originally from Ohio, we grew up on opposite sides of the state. At Malone, Steve Styer, a mutual friend, convinced Jason to call me. He was sure we were a match! I had noticed Jason across the cafeteria multiple times, so I was pretty excited to get that call! Our first date was spent hanging out in The Barn chatting the evening away. We were together from that point on! Whenever Steve saw us together, he would say, "Ahhhh my creation!" We've been married for 27 1/2 years and have a beautiful 17 year old daughter. I'm so thankful that Steve gave Jason that little nudge to get things started.
