20 Years of Wedding/20 Days of Giving

I just had this realization…

It has been almost 20 years since I got married (August 17, 2002). What started as a little playful fun experiment turned out to be the most important decision of my life and I dare to say THE BEST ONE!

When I moved to Iowa City to work at the University of Iowa, I didn’t know anybody. I asked my Turkish roommate how do you meet people here? She told me there are some sites where you fill out your info and you find the match.

I was so skeptical because this is back in 2001 and online dating was not popular. I didn’t know anyone who met online nevertheless to get married this way. 

I filled out my profile anyway and click submit. To my surprise one week later I got an email from Tony and we started emailing back and forth. And after a few weeks, we met for dinner and the rest is history.

I don’t know if it was just pure luck or if someone had a hand but I don’t think I could find anyone better than Tony to share my life with and build the amazing life we have together if it was not because of online dating service. 

To celebrate our 20th anniversary I am going to have a “special promotion” to give 50% off to 20 single people to update their dating profile photos. If you are single or if you know someone who is single please let them know and share this message with them.
