   Paula: Did you get an invitation to Kip and Sheri’s wedding?


 
  Robert: Yeah, I did. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the two of them getting married. Never in my wildest dreams would I put those two together. It boggles my mind that they’re in the least compatible.
 
  Paula: What do you mean?
 
  Robert: Sheri is really adventurous 1 and definitely a thrill-seeker.
 
  Paula: Maybe she’s mellowed 2 over the years.
 
  Robert: I don’t think so, and Kip is the opposite. He’s always toed the line and I don’t think he has an adventurous bone in his body.
 
  Paula: I’ve never thought of Kip as being uptight 3.
 
  Robert: No, he’s not uptight. He’s just very cautious. You’d never find him looking for an adrenaline rush or even a little novelty.
 
  Paula: You know what they say: opposites attract.
 
  Robert: If that’s true, then in their case, polar opposites attract!
