“Have you ever been to Irvine, California?” That was actually the first thing my husband ever said to me. And since he’s now my husband and we didn’t know each other when he said it at a club one night, I guess that makes it one of the greatest pickup lines in history. Oh, well I guess that also depends on what you consider to be the point of a pick up line. If it’s to gain the ultimate commitment and introduce you to the love of your life well than it wins. However, if the point is to meet as many women as possible on the no strings attached agenda, well than this line is definitely a flop. At any rate, it worked for us and we are now happily married.
And the reason he asked about Irvine is actually kind of simple and came about honestly. He went to UC Irvine and swore I looked exactly like a girl in his biology class. Of course that’s when I thought it was a total line but six months later when we were dating I happened to be at his house and he showed me his yearbook. He remembered the girl’s name and found a picture of her. It’s true, we were total ringers. Oh well, the whole thing still could have been made up I guess, but in that case I guess it makes it one of the most elaborate pick up lines, right? Well, my husband is nothing if not committed to detail and thoroughness.
That’s partially why he also made me take a trip to Irvine with him to tour the campus, and yes, of course a visit to the science building where he had the fateful biology class was part of the agenda. It’s actually a beautiful campus and I had a great time there. We stayed in a really cute little hotel near the campus and walked over to it in the morning. You can find information here on places to stay in Irvine if you’re planning a trip. It happened to be in October when we visited and the Global Village Festival was going on. This was a really cool festival and there were performers from all over. There was also great food and a lot of arts and crafts and other merchandise. I had never heard of it before but had a great time at the festival.
