The News 5 Love is in the Air contest has a winner. The votes were tallied on our website, KHASTV.com and their story won the hearts of our viewers.

Meet Tom and Lisa Hatfield whose 30 year love story started at a bus stop in Denver.

Jeniffer Berry: Tell us a little more. Why are you "lucky in love?"

Tom Hatfield: It was a fluke. She normally wouldn't have been at the bus stop. Her sister would have given her a ride home as opposed to being on the bus. My car had broken down. There we were. I ended up helping her off the bus. The bus driver locked me off the bus. It was the last bus. So I ended up helping her go home and the rest is history.

Jeniffer: You met in 1985 and got married in 1993. What is your secret to success with love? Everyone wants to know.

Colin Murphy: Yes, I'm taking notes.

Tom: There is no real success. You just gotta want to do it. Everyday. It's not easy. It's not fun, but it's there.

Colin: Eight. Is that correct, eight grandchildren?

Tom: Yes, eight.

Colin: Unbelievable. And they're all eight and under. So they got a few more years to stay busy.

Jeniffer: It was quite a Valentine's Day surprise for Lisa, of course. Well, congratulations to the two of you. Thank you for sharing your story with us and Happy Valentine's Day!
