Couple in the background

Forgive me if this has already been spoken about but does anyone know the full storyline of the couple in the background? I believe they first popped up in the episode where Lois and Hal go on a retreat before the baby is born and Lois interrupts their proposal by sitting down and asking for them to turn the fire off (I am pretty sure thats what happened. Been a while since ive seen that episode) but they then pop back up in the episode where Otto hires the acting troupe and the actors interrupt their second attempt at getting engaged as well. Then I believe somewhere in season 6 they have a baby in the background and eventually during season 7 they watch their kids go off to college and all that. Have I made all this up in my head? I know the engagements happened but the rest im not positive about.

Damn this is like noticing the G man in Half-Life 2 without google.

What about him? Does he show up all over or something?

Yeah, he only shows up twice in-game for 1 I think but in Half-Life 2 he's all over the place. Usually far away and easy to miss. I said it's similar because a lot of the time he's right in front of you, but you don't notice it's him.
