Wrestling's ultimate power couple is about to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary, but before they were married, they were simply a pair on-screen. In storyline, Stephanie McMahon was dating Test, but the diabolical Triple H drugged her, took her to a drive-through chapel in Las Vegas, and married her. Soon, Stephanie aligned herself with her new husband, and the two dominated WWE programming in the early 2000s. Stephanie would routinely accompany Triple H to the ring for his matches, often helping her "husband" gain victory. Behind the scenes, romance blossomed. Triple H left then-girlfriend Chyna for Stephanie (Chyna says HHH had an affair with her while Triple H claims he severed his relationship with Chyna first), and on October 25, 2003, the two were married in Tarrytown, New York. Twelve years and three daughters later, the two are once again aligned on TV, running WWE as The Authority.
