After a less-than-perfect introduction, the second time was a charm for Family Feud host Steve Harvey and his wife, Marjorie. This summer marks 15 years of marriage for the couple.

Steve Harvey – "If I lost everything, we'd build it up again together.''

Steve Harvey first laid eyes on his now-wife, Marjorie, when he was performing a stand-up show at a Memphis comedy club in 1987. She walked in late to a seat down front, and Harvey took the opportunity during his set to speak directly to her. "The very first thing I said to Marjorie was, 'I don't know who you are, but I'm going to marry you one day.' That was the beginning," Steve says.

But their initial sparks fizzled, and they lost touch. In 2005, by a twist of fate, they reconnected through mutual friends, and they've been together ever since. After dating for a year, Steve proposed, and the pair became husband and wife on June 25, 2007. In honor of their 15th wedding anniversary this summer, Steve took some time in between filming new episodes of Celebrity Family Feud to write a letter to his wife reflecting on their time together.

Marjorie,

Nearly two decades have flown by, and I have felt lucky every single one of those days. I don't know if I can describe our connection in words, but I'll try.
