In fact, their first meeting was actually an argument, after Guy fired a friend of Lori’s.

However, even though Lori was staring daggers at him, Guy “knew as soon as [he] saw her,” he later said. “I just knew.” The more they talked, the more that Lori realized that Guy wasn’t that bad. She even accepted an invitation to a dinner cooked by the chef. “I don’t remember what I made, but I do remember it was quite an epic time,” Guy recalled. They married a year later, in 1995, and now have two sons.

This is, ‘Hey, I try not to fart too loud in your presence.'”
