Betsy and Randy were introduced in 2008 by Ann Snow Ewing. Betsy was a freshman at The University of Toledo and Randy was a senior at Start High School. Randy would only come to Close Park to meet Betsy after a long night of work “if she was cute.” Betsy was not impressed by this, but Randy maintains that it all worked out because she was, in fact, cute. Fast forward to the fall of 2009, Randy had also enrolled at UT and the two were in marching band together but weren’t friends, per se. One night, Randy posted on Facebook that he had taken an evening walk around campus. Betsy commented that she was jealous and would like to do that some time. Randy offered to walk with her, so walking they did. For several months, Randy would pick Betsy up outside her sorority house and they’d walk around campus. Walking as friends turned into more in February of 2010. Betsy and Randy would proceed to date for nearly four years. Sadly, life circumstances for both led to a breakup in December of 2013. (Bet you didn’t see that coming!) Seven years went by with no contact other than a dinner at Red Robin at some point in 2014. In April of 2021, Ann Snow Ewing came to the matchmaker rescue again when she got married. Betsy was a bridesmaid and as a forever friend, Randy was invited as a guest. Betsy and Randy awkwardly danced around talking to each other until late into the reception. But when they started talking, they started walking, and the sparks flew. The following morning, Betsy reached out to Randy to thank him for a lovely evening. They started talking again and never stopped. On August 19, 2023, Betsy and Randy attended her big’s wedding reception in Michigan. On the way home, Randy took Betsy back to the park where they met all the way back in 2008. They went to the bridge of the playground where they had their first conversation and Randy dropped to one knee and asked Betsy to marry him. She jumped up and down and gave him the easiest yes of her life! They cannot wait to celebrate their love and the beginning of happily ever after on July 14, 2024!
