What happened

Rosalyn and Irwin Engelman met in 1953 on a blind date and got married three years later, in November of 1956.

Why it matters

They were just teenagers when they met, Rosalyn 15 and Irwin 19, but Rosalyn knew pretty quickly that she was in love.

Common ground

"I certainly had not dated anyone like the tall, dark, handsome man in a navy blue suit with a briefcase who came to my door," she says.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
