Vince met Inge when she applied for a nanny job through a business he was working with. Inge was born in Austria, where she was raised and lived most of her life. She flew out to the United States in search of a job and a future in California. In search of better work, she took up an add in the paper for a nanny position through a placement agency. That's when she met Vince.
Vince was born in Cuba in 1941. When he was 19 he was urged to flee from Cuba to the United states as Fidel Castro started to take over control of Cuba. In search of a better future he fled to the U.S. where he started working at the placement agency.
When Inge came in to apply for a position she met with Vince. Vince was immediately taken by her beauty and after the interview asked her to dinner. They talked about their dreams and ambitions. Inge talked about growing up in Austria and all the trips she would take across Europe with her friends and what brought her out to California. Vince shared about his upbringing in Cuba and about the family he had to leave behind to seek out a better future in the U.S. for himself. Upon many conversations they had, one was about the future family they both wished to have one day. Vince asked Inge if she were to have a daughter what would she name her. This caught her off guard and Inge just blurted out the first name that came to her mind, “Susy.” Vince liked the name and said, “Agreed, if we were to have a daughter we shall name her Susy.” Naturally this caught Inge off guard and she thought Vince was crazy. But this didn't stop her from seeing him again.
They dated for 2 years before VInce proposed to Inge. At this time, they both had very little money. Inge had left being a nanny and started her job as a waitress at the Brown Burby. and Vince was now working at Burger King and making his way up through management. Their wedding was a small and modest one. With only some friends and no family in attendance. They rented out a time slot at a local wedding chapel in Los Angeles where they would be able to have their ceremony. They were so tight on money that they couldn't even afford flowers. Vince, being the businessman who never missed an opportunity, walked up to the couple that had just finished their ceremony before them and offered to buy her bouquet from her for $50, just so his future wife had some flowers to hold on her wedding day.
