Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley’s D.C. and Iowa offices have now produced 20 married couples.

Alex and Molly Severn held hands near the front of an Iowa church a few years ago, excited for the pastor to pronounce them husband and wife. But for a moment, Molly thought the pastor was going to ruin her wedding.“Here, yet again, we have another couple who met through that popular dating site,” the pastor said.
Plus, his employees spend a bulk of their days working, so they have ample time to be around each other. Grassley’s office isn’t the only one that has produced double-digit marriages. New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer “They work so hard they don’t have a chance to meet anybody,” Schumer told the news outlet.
Kathy and Kurt continued sitting next to each other when they were promoted to legislative assistants in 2001. The next year, Grassley’s wife, Barbara, approached Kathy’s desk. With Kurt sitting in the adjacent cubicle, Barbara joked with Kathy that she needed to get engaged or leave him, Kurt said. When Kurt proposed later that year, Barbara took credit, Kathy said.The newlyweds only took one day off work the week after their October 2003 wedding in Le Mars, Iowa.
Kathy and Kurt left the office in 2017 and 2018, respectively, for new jobs. By then, even more couples had emerged.
