Marjorie’s seat was in the front row, but she came late. As beautiful as she was, Steve had a crush on her at first sight.
He suddenly changed his plan of giving her a hard time about being late into something romantic. Steve even took the courage to stand up, walk to her, and talk with her.
Steve considers himself an expert on manhood, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he took the shot at saying some flirtiest words. In an interview, he revealed his first talk with Marjorie.
“The first time I saw my wife, Marjorie, I was doing stand-up in Memphis, and she was sitting in the front row. Afterward, I walked up and said, ‘Ma’am, I’m going to marry you one day.’ And 15 years later, I did.”
Marjorie and Steve live a happy life. According to Steve, they are two happy people living together, sharing their days, and experiences, and holding and supporting each other. He believes Marjorie is the great woman he has been waiting all his life to have as a partner.
The pair often travels together to different places. People spot them enjoying rides on their yachts during festive times and holidays.
