“Going to meet her for our first date, I was like, ‘I hope she’s cute, ’cause I just might marry her,’” “Weird Al” once said in an interview for Wired about falling for her over their long phone chats.

Apparently, Suzanne wasn’t so sure because of “Weird Al’s” fame. “Then I thought, ‘That’s kind of shallow of me to just be looking at a persona. People are often so different than how they appear.’ And we clicked immediately,” she told Rolling Stone in 2014.
