HELEN EICHLER & GARY KRIGSMAN
Married 26 years
How did you get together?
HELEN: One of his friends happened to be an attorney at the Wall Street firm where I was working. I was complaining about how difficult it was to meet quality men, and he said, “I have a lot of friends who are gentlemen.” I said, “If it’s so easy, come in with a list.” The very next day he brought one. He said, “Pick one. I’ll have him call you.”
How did you know to stop looking after you met him?
HELEN: On our first date, we went out to eat and I just knew—
GARY: —because I ate off of her plate.
HELEN: My grandparents ate out of one dish their entire lives. They considered it the ultimate romantic thing.
What do you remember the most from your wedding?
GARY: The spirituality of it.
HELEN: Today, we’re on the board of the Interfaith Council in South Queens. We go to Sikh temples, Christian churches, celebrate different cultures. The organization wouldn’t be as vibrant if it were anywhere but here.
