Meeting Court

Match.com? Every time I heard one of those cheesy commercials, I would roll my eyes and walk away from the television. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that a dating website would play any part in meeting my future husband! As crazy as it sounds, that is where we met.

I was actually on the verge of ending my subscription to this online dating wonderland. I had met one too many weirdos, for lack of a better word. One night, though, I stumbled across a familiar face, court_tx, from Dallas, Texas 75254. With one click of his profile, I knew that I had found someone who seemed extremely genuine.

Court winked at me the next day, which led to several “getting to know each other” emails. I recognized Court as being the older brother of a friend from high school, but I did not say anything about this because I knew that he would not know who I was. Court likes to kid that I have been stalking him for years and that it was not a coincidence that we met on Match. Throughout the next week, we uncovered that we both grew up in Spring Branch and had attended the same junior high, high school, and college.

Court and I had our first date at Champps Americana. When I walked in, I spotted him sipping a drink at the bar. As soon as he saw me, he walked over and gave me a hug. It felt like we had known each other for years. The two of us had a wonderful date and have been inseparable ever since! I wholeheartedly believe that our meeting is part of God’s amazing plan. Court is an incredibly patient, kind, funny, and loving person. He is my best friend, and each day that I spend with him is such a blessing!
