Carmel, Indiana — University High School history teacher Chris Bradley asks his wife Carolyn — a science teacher at the school — to be his valentine every year, even though they’ve been married for more than 25 years.
According to Chris Bradley, he pops the question to his wife during a daily morning meeting between students and faculty.
“Normally, it’s stuff about sports games or clubs that are going on, but truly it’s an avenue for people to share what’s important to them so every Feb. 14th, I want to share something that’s really important to me and let people know how much I love Carolyn and that I hope we get to still be valentines,” he said.
On a question, if she gets nervous when her husband asks if she will be his valentine every year? Carolyn Bradley said jokingly “No, self-conscious maybe”. “No, it’s really fun. It’s really fun to watch the student’s reactions because they really like it as well.”
They were married in 1991 and have been inseparable ever since. The Bradleys have taught at University High School since it was founded in 2000.
“We’ve been able to be together a lot, and that really is a blessing and something that not everyone gets to do … it’s a really special thing,” Chris Bradley said.
