Joanne was in her pre-blossoming (frizzy hair, thick bangs, and thick framed glasses) stage in her early teenage years when she spotted Joel sitting in the balcony across from her one evening at church. The pastor had introduced his family as new members and she was very interested in their tall lanky teenage son. Joanne told her friend, who was sitting next to her that day in church, that the boy who just stood with the family would be her future husband. Joanne was dreaming, or so she thought...
The Coons enrolled their sons (Joel, Josh, and Jorel) to start attending the church's private school, where Joanne was attending. In high school, they started to write notes to each other and soon hung out on their lunch breaks together. Best friends they became. They did everything together and were soon inseparable.
On February 23, 2000, church ended and as always, Joel and Joanne stood talking to each other in the foyer's balcony. The conversation led to Joel finally telling Joanne “You know you’re my girlfriend, right?” Yes, Joel never officially asked, but TOLD Joanne that they were a couple.
...and the rest is history.
