It was the summer of 2014, and both Tess and Dennis were looking for love, in the most romantic of places: Match.com. They were veterans of the online dating scene, which means they were both on the verge of giving up. However, something seemed different for each of them from the beginning. First of all, Tess is the one who first glimpsed Dennis’s handsome face, and sent him a wink. Dennis was surprised and excited, and winked back. Ah, internet love. They soon progressed to exchanging e-mails daily. Tess was excited that Dennis wrote not only in complete sentences, but actual paragraphs. Dennis was enchanted by Tess’s sports knowledge and love for her family. They started texting and talking on the phone, and soon set a first date. A few days before their scheduled date, Tess was in Santa Clara, watching her beloved Niners. Dennis got excited to meet her, and they decided to meet for dinner that very night. Chemistry was instant, conversation was flowing, and smiles were bright. Tess got home too late for her customary “first date recap” with Care—I think she knew then that this was for real. Their “first” first date soon led to their “second” first date…. And they never looked back. Now, almost four years later, Tess and Dennis have many fun memories to treasure. They have taken amazing trips to Rhode Island, Hawaii, New York, Paso, the OC, and other local hotspots. They enjoy cooking up delicious treats in the kitchen, tasting yummy wines and beers, watching great movies, and even reading together (Tess can make a bookworm out of anyone!). They have watched their beloved sports teams win championships—go Giants, Cubbies, and Dubs! Niners, Raiders, and Lakers—you’ll have your day. They have bonded with each other’s families and friends; everyone agrees that Tess and Dennis make each other very, very happy. Now, Tess and Dennis are looking forward to building their life together and making even more memories as husband and wife.
