Mary Hilker

Grand Rapids, MI

Our First Chapter!

We both can't believe how lucky we were to find each other so quickly during our online dating adventures (we were each other's first in person date!). And, on the timing of our decisions to get back out there, and in choosing the same site! Mary will never forget how when she entered the sushi restaurant to meet Tom for the first time, in the booth right in front of him was one of her middle school students waving away! Tom will never forget how when talking to that student, waiting to say hi to her, she said "Yes, I am a real person too, out to dinner!" Haha, he got an early glimpse of a conversation with Mary ;). And neither of us will forget about Tom's now retired transition glasses, ha! From there we felt lucky as to how easy it was to just be together, talking about everything, sharing our lives, laughing, and supporting each other. When Tom proposed on the campus of Michigan State University, Mary knew it was an easy YES! And now here we are, so excited to share our special day with everyone!
