She told the Philadelphia City Paper in 2000 that she met her future husband in front of her Manhattan apartment building one night, as she was waiting for a date that was late. “Michael was on his way to a charity event and was in a tuxedo,” she remembered. “So he walked up to me, a stranger, and said: ‘Are you ready to go?’ How’s that for a sense of confidence and a sense of humor?”
Bernadette says that her goal is to spread the word and to try and get cities to declare themselves “No kill Cities”, and instead encouraging people to adopt pets.
