00:09You know, 33 years ago, I accidentally fell in love with a man, Joe Biden.
00:16We're like every other couple.
00:18This is my wife, Jill, or actually I'm her husband.
00:21In the 40 years we've been together, I've seen, you know, the strength of his character, his optimism, you know,
00:29his hope.
00:30I'm glad we're doing this.
00:31We met through Joe's brother, Frank, and he suggested to Joe that he ask me out.
00:40He called me one Saturday afternoon and he said, hey, Jill, this is Joe Biden.
00:46Do you think you'd like to go out tonight?
00:48He comes with a suit, leather loafers.
00:51I thought, oh, gosh, this guy's going to be kind of stiff.
00:54But he wasn't.
00:54He really wasn't.
00:56I called my mother at 1 o'clock in the morning.
00:58I said, mom, I finally met a gentleman.
01:01The second date we went out, I called her and said, would you do me a favor?
01:05Would you not go out with anyone again for a while?
01:08The one advice I give to every man out there, pay attention and jewelry helps.
01:16Joe often tells people that I didn't agree to marry him until the fifth time he asked me.
01:23The truth is, I loved him from the start.
01:27As long as we know that the career is less important than the marriage, then it works.
01:35I've seen Joe up close.
01:37I've seen how...
01:43You have an alternate title as well, yes?
01:45Mr. Vice President?
01:46None that I can say.
01:47Oh, good.
01:48Really?
01:49They're all endearing.
01:52I'm blessed to have a husband who loves me so much, really.
02:01I'm blessed to have a husband who loves me so much, really.
