Five years ago, Dale Weiler and Loti Woods met at an art show in Tryon, North Carolina, which neither of them had particularly wanted to attend.
Weiler, a sculptor, had planned to be at a New York gallery, displaying one of his pieces. But when that piece broke in transport, he decided to attend the local opening instead.
Woods, a retired insurance broker, had been dragged to the show by her sister.
“It was love at first sight,” Weiler says.
Eight days later, the couple was engaged.
