Last night my wife and I had the pleasure of visiting the home of some friends for dinner. We had a wonderful time chatting and eating homemade pasta and sauce. I must confess, I think this was the first time I've ever eaten homemade pasta. The food was wonderful (have to learn how to make it) and the company was great as well.
After dinner we went to the living room to continue conversations started at the table. Since this was our first time visiting with this couple I asked them how they met (yep, I'm always a wedding photographer!). I was floored by her response...
"We met through Match.com." "Really?" we said. That's awesome. My wife and I peppered them with questions...what was the first date like, who contacted whom? Apparently, she was in the beginning explorations with a guy in Missouri when her now husband first contacted her. Amazingly, they both lived in Bloomington...he was a young professional working in the medical field and she was finishing up school to become a music teacher. It didn't work out with the guy in Missouri.
You've seen the commercials on TV... a cute couple hugging on each other and testifying to the success they had with Match.com. I would watch with some skepticism...at the same time wishing and hoping that people could find true love through such a service. Well, I've met them....they are truly happy, in love and spending the rest of their lives together. It makes me feel good.
