James and Julia Tucker met in college at Oklahoma State University through mutual friends. Every time Julia called James, his roommate would read portions from the book entitled "Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex But Was Afraid to Ask". LOL!! James was very shy. Julia was not. They went on their first date in September and shared their first kiss on Valentine's Day. Julia was his first girlfriend and James is her last love. *James and Julia married on August 3, 1985* ª     What qualities did you see in this person that made you want to marry him/her?   I knew I could trust him.

She wouldn't go so I did & less than 3 months later we got married! We called a pastor out of the phone book & got married at his house with just 4 of our friends there.  *We married on January 29, 1988 Tell me a little about your relationship... *Rocky truly listens to me. He is trustworthy, hardworking & respectful.  He is a true gentleman. *Haha...Romance is sometimes difficult through the busyness of life (such as raising a family). We always enjoyed taking our boys everywhere.  Now that we are empty nesters, it's like starting over.  I would give the advice to make time for a mont...
