There was areason Joanna didn’t fall for Chip right away he wasn’t her key in.
“When Chip and I went on our first date, he didn’t stop talking!

This is the man you’re going to marry,” the interior designer toldPeople.
Despite the glimpse into the future, Joanna was still warming up to her polar opposite match.
But finally, her feelings began to align with that voice she heard on their first date.

The Gaines' Waco, Texas love story is proof opposites do attract.
For this dynamic duo, being different was an asset, not a setback.
“We’re this odd yin and yang, this whole opposites attract.
It really was this powerful chemistry that happened early in our marriage,” Chip revealed.
