**A Love Story: Beth and Albert’s 30 Years Together**

Beth and Albert’s journey began on the mountain at Frostburg State University. Albert, a sophomore, saw a bouncy, sassy freshman walking across campus and was interested in getting to know her. Several people told Beth there is an Alpha on campus who likes you. Beth was perplexed as she thought she knew all of the Alphas. One day in the quiet corners of the Frostburg State University library in 1987, Beth was working on a paper, Albert noticed Beth looking for a book. Gathering his courage, he approached her with a smile, introducing himself. Their conversation flowed and Beth thought it was sweet that this handsome Alpha was shy.

As the years unfolded, their friendship blossomed into a sweet romance. By 1993, when New Year’s Eve rolled around, Beth and Albert found themselves surrounded by friends, celebrating the dawning of a new year. Just as the clock struck midnight, Albert gave Beth a glass of champagne. As she looked in the glass, she saw a ring. “Will you marry me?” he asked. Beth, overwhelmed with love, said “Yes!”—a promise sealed with a kiss that echoed against the jubilant cheers of their friends.

Their wedding on June 3, 1995, was a perfect reflection of their love. It was an affair, filled with laughter, tears of joy, and heartfelt vows that symbolized their commitment to being best friends, confidants, and each other’s biggest cheerleaders. They knew that love was not just about romance but about partnership, support, and unwavering faith in one another.

As they navigated through life together, Beth and Albert became each other’s anchors. They tackled challenges head-on, celebrated victories, and created a home bursting with love and warmth. Their evening rituals included cozy family dinners and shared moments over cups of steaming coffee, where they would discuss their dreams and daily triumphs.

They encouraged one another in every endeavor, from career aspirations to personal passions. Beth cheered Albert on as he pursued new projects, and Albert stood firmly behind Beth, celebrating her achievements with pride. Their home became a haven of laughter, confidence, and shared dreams, where they also embraced spontaneity, dancing in the living room whenever a favorite song played.

As years turned into decades, their lives intertwined beautifully. They welcomed Summer into their lives, becoming not just partners but loving parents. Beth and Albert made it a priority to instill the values they cherished in their family, teaching their child the importance of friendship, love, and support.

Now, as they celebrate 30 incredible years of love, Beth and Albert find joy in the everyday grind, still leaning on each other as confidants.
