We are Tom and Jennifer. The story of us goes way back to college when I was a graduate assistant and Jennifer was an undergrad. She was apparently in the class I took roll for and hated me. She thought I was actually marking her absent when she skipped. I wasn’t! I don’t think….

Several years later in November 2009, we were introduced by a mutual friend. She stood me up at first but then saw my picture on Facebook and couldn’t resist getting a second chance to meet me. So we met a week later… and as they say, the rest is history! We started dating and got married in 2013.

Jennifer’s rebuttal: The grad assistant part is true. The rest is only half true. I DID stand him up. However, the second chance was more of a pity date (see how he conveniently left that part out?) because I found out he had a root canal and showed up anyway. We met a week later. When I gave him my number, he thought it was fake and didn’t call me for two weeks.

Tom’s rebuttal to her rebuttal: Pity date… HA! She was, in her words, “SO SORRY”, and showed up the following week. She couldn’t resist this firefighting hunk! And just to be accurate, we met on November 14 and had our first date on November 24… so there is NO WAY I waited two weeks to call!

That’s enough about us! If you want to know more, check out our first post!
