Interview 1: Grandad sits comfortably on the leather sofa, sipping his cup of black tea and watching a documentary on a flat screen television. Local newspapers are seen next to him, giving a basic sense that this man likes to read and loves to learn new things.
INTERVIEWER
You alright?
GRANDAD
Yeah I'm alright, yourself?
INTERVIEWER
Yeah, just asking because we are about to start the interview.
GRANDAD
(Laughs) Okay
INTERVIEWER
So. Lets start from the beginning, what were you doing on the night when you met Grandma?
GrANDAD
Well I was at home, getting ready, putting on my suit and organising a party i was going to have on the weekend.
INTERVIEWER
Do you remember what that party was for?
Grandad
I think it was for my brother, yeah.
INTERVIEWER
And then what happened? Did you get there by car or did you walked?
Grandad
Of course I drove there haha
INTERVIEWER
What was it like arriving there?
Grandad
To be honest with you, it was pretty crowded, I could barely see the parking spaces. It was filled people my age and older if I remember correctly.
INTERVIEWER
Whoa, i can imagine it being a crowded place then, upon arriving, did you see some of your friends?
GRANDAD
Well yeah but they had their girlfriends, I was alone at the time being so I just hung around the food and drinks.
INTERVIEWER
Was it good food?
Grandad
(Laughs) No, not at all, tasted like shit to be honest.
INTERVIEWER
(Laughs) Fair enough, then what happened?
GranDAD
Then I saw your grandmother.

Do you remember what you felt?

Did you go up to her and ask for a dance?

Yeah, I was nervous, shaking uncontrollably in fact. She was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.

Interviewer
What were you doing before the valentines dance?
Grandma
I was helping my mother bring in the shopping and getting ready I suppose.
Interviewer
Do you remember what you were wearing?
Grandma
A silk, pink dress, yes.
InterVIEWER
Fair enough and how did you get to the dance?
GrANDMA
I think my mother drove me there with my father, like your parents, they told me to be safe and just enjoy myself.
Interviewer
Fair enough, what were you feeling at the time?
GrANDMA
Nervous, a little scared but quite excited. I wasn't really a party person mind you.
InterVIEWER
Could you describe what the atmosphere was like? Were there a lot of people?
Grandma
I believe so, I knew a great number of people but all of them were busy with their partners.
Interviewer
Well then, I guess we both know what happens next.
Grandma
(Laughs) Indeed. I saw him alone next to the food and drink, he was alone, at first I didn't take notice, I thought he was waiting for a date but no, he randomly came up to me and asked if I wanted to dance with him.
InterVIEWER
And of course you said yes?
Grandma
Not exactly, I asked if he could buy me a drink first
INTERVIEWER
(Laughs) Fair enough, and what did you feel when you saw or even talked to him?
GraNDMA
(Describes of what she felt at the
time)
