Random and as old-fashioned as it sounds, Phil and Carol met at a bar.
Since neither are bar patrons, many extraneous factors had to come into play to get them to the same bar at the same time and sit on adjacent bar stools, much less strike up a conversation! As luck, or some would say fate, would have it, that happened.
They’ve been inseparable since.
In lieu of gifts, Phil and Carol would be honored for you to make a donation to either of their favorite charities in which they serve(d) on the board, or one of your own favorite charities, on their behalf.
