Joe and April are kids fresh out of highschool, their first date is during valentines weekend of 2000, that very initial night of meeting, April becomes pregnant, the two decide to marry for the betterment of the child. We cut to the wedding, in all its glory, wonderful music, joyous dancing, an overall beautiful memory. We then again cut to 11 years later, in the fall of 2012. Joe and April now own a home in a great residential neighborhood. They have three kids, Allen, the oldest, Rose, the middle girl, and Kathleen the youngest sister.
