The Sadie Hawkins dance at school meant nothing to me until I met my 1st "everything"! We shaved 1 class ... choir class ...and went to a choral festival where I finally met him. Later, when the Sadie was about to happen, I got up the nerve to ask him to the dance. We dressed as hillbillies, and when the photographer took our picture, he said "Lil Abner! Daisy Mae! It's you!" That handsome boy and I dated the rest of that school year until his dad suddenly moved his family to another state. It was my senior year. Fast forward to Christmas 2010, after 21 years and a divorce each,my HS sweetheart found me through social media. In 2011, he moved to my homestate to be with me. In 2013, I asked him to marry me and we were married exactly 1 year later! Thank you, Al Capp, for creating the Sadie Hawkins Day dance which led me to the love of my life! And, thank you, OFA, for sharing the history of this wonderful event! I hope that schools around the country will continue to keep this alive for all of the painfully shy people like me so that they, too, might possibly meet the loves of their lives.
