In 2013, Emhoff met Harris on a blind date that was set up by their longtime friends Reginald and Chrisette Hudlin, and they quickly fell in love. "The morning after our first date, Doug emailed me with a list of his available dates for the next couple of months," Harris revealed in her memoir, The Truths We Hold. "'I'm too old to play games or hide the ball,' the email read. 'I really like you, and I want to see if we can make this work.'"
Less than a year after they met, in March 2014, Emhoff popped the question in the middle of a very important discussion about whether they should order chicken or shrimp pad thai for dinner.
