Gary Overgaard and Emily Lodine have been married for 11 years. She is an opera singer; he is a pig farmer. They live in Minnesota. They met sitting next to each other on a plane to London. Coming from totally different worlds, he assumed they would have nothing to talk about and the trip would be boring, but they never stopped talking.

Although she lived in Chicago, they got together when each returned home, connected, fell in love and eventually married. She thought living on the farm would be like Julie Andrews where the hills would be “alive with the sound of music.” She discovered that her singing agitates the pigs, so she practices indoors.

They are deeply attracted to and understanding of each other’s lives and interests, even now, years later.

Meet Mark and Monica, two musicians who found each other on the Internet. She planned to move from Boulder to Austin after being involved in a series of unhappy romances. Monica found Mark on-line by seeking friends and connections in her new area code. They met and liked each other immediately. They had a lot in common including their work as musicians.

But as she discovered, no one person lives up to her ideal. As she said, “Married twice with kid” was not what she had in mind for her partner. And Mark had always believed that marriage was “as long as you both shall love.”

With a shift in their understanding of the meaning of commitment, the two were married with our cameras present.
