So where did the two meet, if they never met at college? According to PopSugar, Chip frequented an auto shop owned by Joanna’s dad and saw a photo of her behind the counter. He later met her in person, when he took his car to the shop while Joanna was working in the office.

“We met in the waiting area and hit it off immediately. He was genuinely engaging and he had such a sincere smile,” Joanna said of their first meeting, per PopSugar.

Next: They had different careers in mind.
