Our Wedding

We first met as coworkers at The University of Michigan Hospital in 2014. Teresa was a Physical Therapy student working with heart failure patients and Oliver was a tech assisting all the PT's on the same floor. Oliver made Teresa laugh a lot, and he was taken by how kind and polite Teresa was. Both were in relationships at the time, but both found each other memorable. It wasn't long until Oliver left the hospital to venture out on his own and start a house painting company. In 2018 Teresa called Oliver for a painting estimate in her home. We caught up, shared some laughs, but kept it professional - we were not both single at this time either. 3 years later, we met for the third and final time. We were both serious about finding our life partners, having been through several failed relationships each. We independently wrote down a list of characteristics we wanted in a partner and tried to envision what a successful relationship would look and feel like. We both signed up for Match.com. We had been looking for months. We were both meeting flakes, getting ghosted, going on disappointing dates. Teresa was ready to put dating on the back burner and take a break. She saw Oliver's profile and decided to just send a quick message. "Hi Oliver! It's so nice to see a friendly face here. I hope you're doing well. My cabinets still look great by the way!" We caught up again, we laughed a few times, and then we prepared to wish each other luck and part ways for the final time. But Oliver made his move: "You know, we are both here on Match, and we did technically match after you messaged me...so why don't we go on a date? Nothing too serious, we could just grab coffee, go for a walk, and see if we click?" We did meet up for coffee, we did go for a walk, and we did click. We went on a proper dinner date the next week and shared our first kiss. The next week, we went to the Holly Dickens Christmas festival together. We walked around holding hands, we watched a Christmas show, then snuggled up together at an Irish pub where we watched a Christmas parade and had dinner. We talked about deeper topics - our fears, desires, dreams, hopes. We snuggled next to each other as close as possible. We laughed so freely. We both agree that it was on this third date that we knew we were feeling something special and possibly even falling in love. After a month we were in love. After 2 months, we were planning our wedding. We looked back on the lists we wrote when we were trying so hard to find love, and we can't believe how perfectly we have fulfilled each other's lists. Not just that, but we have each provided the other with things we didn't even know we needed, things we couldn't even conceive of putting on a list.

3's a charm!
