Our Story
Chad and Tessa became acquainted years ago at a small grocery store in Massillon, Ohio. Tessa was working as a manager, and Chad was a frequent shopper. They would exchange 'hello' and smiles over the years and would often strike up conversations about dishes they loved to cook. When the stars finally aligned, they elevated their friendship into a first date. This first date became infamous for Tessa flinging chicken and sauce into her face (and white sweater) when Chad was teaching her to debone a chicken wing. The second date was also memorable, as Chad presented Tessa with the gift of matching chicken wing key chains, so she'd never forget one of the top five most embarrassing moments of her life. The key chains are both worn to this day. The two soon realized that they had a lot more in common than their love of cooking food and their ability to find humor in the simplest things. It is an honest love that is sure to last. If you know the happy couple, you know the only thing they take more pride in than the meals they've created together is the love that they have for one another. We'd like to thank everyone who supported these two individually as well as together throughout their journey to find love. "Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all." -Harriet Van Thorne
