Matt and I met a few years ago while both volunteering in Pigeon Forge, TN at the Smokey Mountain Student Bible Conference. That weekend, one of the conference staff members, Randy, confronted me about whether or not I "had my eye on anybody here?” Of course, this was the first night. I just simply laughed and said no. Randy replied, “Well I think Matt has his eye on you!” Later that evening, Randy proposed the same question to Matt, who coincidently replied in with the same answer I had given, “no.” And yes, you guessed it, Randy told Matt that he “heard that Jenna girl has her eye on you." Needless to say, neither Matt nor I were
looking for love that weekend, but Randy was determined to make sure that
Love was looking for us. After Matt and I both spent the weekend playing “hard-to-get” while assuming we were both being pursued by the other, we finally discovered we were being set up. The night we came home from Tennessee, Matt asked me on our first date…
Randy told us that weekend in Tennessee, and willl still tell anyone till this day, "Of all the couples I've set up over the years, only two
haven't ended up married in the end."
I guess Matt and I didn't hurt his statistics. :-)
Thanks Randy!
The picture below is from the weekend we met. Actually, the day of our first date. :-)
