Wendy & David

Our Story

February 1st is our day. It is the date we first met, the date David proposed and the date that we will be married.

How we met...

The truth about internet dating

He said:

Yes...we met online... She sent me a wink and I thought she looked like Leah Rimini from King of Queens in her photo and since I look a lot like the fat guy from the show I figured we would match! For the first date I decided on lunch that way I would be all dressed up in suit and tie and look professional. I was a little nervous and talked more and faster than I usually do, but we seemed to make a good connection and she invited me to a party later that week. When I went to her place the night of the party, I felt that kiss or no kiss moment and went in for the kiss and rather than getting a cheek I got lips...so that was a good sign. At the party I met a lot of her friends and had a good time, she made risotto and asparagus with prosciutto and both were pretty tasty, so I figured good friends, good food, good kisser, this one might be a keeper...and here we are.

David and I met through Match.com - I was on for 2 weeks and he was on for years (just waiting for me!):p. We met at Family Tree Restaurant for lunch for our first date. He was such a gentleman - unlike the other match.com dates neither of us were uncomfortable. We went out again the next day for Delia and Ian's going away party. He saw me cook with proscuitto - I'm pretty sure thats what did it - as we were together ever since.

Trip to California

Meet the parents...
Trip to California

Our first long trip together was for Thanksgiving of 2008. We flew from Buffalo to San Francisco to visit David's parents in Northern California. While there Wendy got to see where David grew up, the wonderful wacky village of Willits! Also we visited the redwood trees, went horseback riding on the coast, and of course visited the wine country. We even had some mud baths in Calistoga!
