As corny as the saying may be, I believe that how we met could truly be described in one simple word - kismet.
Both Chris and I had recently come out of long-term relationships, so we were “new” to the dating scene. All of our friends were no longer single …they had families of their own, and were rarely interested in accompanying us to local singles hot spots, or in playing matchmaker. But all that changed the day after Christmas 2006 when a good friend from high school called me up and invited me out for drinks with her and some friends. They were celebrating her new boyfriend’s birthday. At some point in the evening, the story of how they met came up. We all learned they had met on Match.com. They shared how great an experience it was. I saw how truly happy they were. After much coaxing and consideration, I decided to give it a shot; after all, what did I have to lose?
I was in the kitchen doing dishes when Chris returned home from a morning round of golf. He was hanging around the kitchen island, carrying on about how great a morning he’d had. I paid no real attention until he started telling me how lucky we were to have met. As I turned to face him, he was down on one knee holding a small blue box. He proclaimed his love for me and asked if I’d spend the rest of my life with him.
