We met in 2002 through Match.com. I had dated a couple of creeps that I'd met through the site and was really fed up and about to take my ad off. But the day before Thanksgiving (the day after a particularly bad date) I got an e-mail from a guy who actually seemed to have read my ad, who sounded funny and smart. So I decided to give it one last chance. We e-mailed for about a week and a half and then had our first date on Dec. 7 (Pearl Harbor Day). We met at the art museum and spent 3 hours there and then went to dinner--and spent another 3 hours there. We were so busy talking, we had to keep sending the waiter away because we hadn't looked at the menu yet. We moved in together in August of 2003, and got engaged in August of this year--we are getting married October 1, 2005.
