How We Met

The last first date.

Josh and Elena both had profiles on the same online dating site, but it took several years for the algorithm to put them both together. Just after Elena had a "will-I-ever-find-the-one" heart to heart with a close friend, she had made the decision to unsubscribe from the website. As she took one last glance at her profile, she saw a picture of a man who had felled a Christmas tree (a top criterion for a good husband, one of many that Josh would eventually match). Together they corresponded and bonded over music suggestions and their unique occupations at the time. Elena worked at Pike Place Market, and Josh as an Emergency Medical Technician. They agreed to meet up at a nearby Chinese restaurant for egg rolls, then again the following week for trivia at a friend's restaurant. And truly the rest is history.
