Matchmaker, Blogmaster, Make Me a Match!

I haven’t told you yet, but I am responsible for a wedding. This blog is responsible for a wedding. This dateless beauty is the reason two friends of mine are getting hitched. YEA! I am so excited! I was excited when they were dating! Now they are engaged, the date is set, the place is booked, and I got a save the date invite!

During the heyday of this blog, when I posted every day and I had interesting things to say, I received a comment from one schmen.com blog (linked to my home page). She had found my link through "This Fish Needs a Bicycle" blog, (which is linked to my home page), where I had left a comment for the writer of This Fish. Schmen read a few of my entries, and liked my stuff, and left the link to her blog along with comments. I read, and liked her stuff, and left comments. Comments turned to email and email led to what I like to call a 'Femme Date'. Me and this cyber blog stranger met at Gus O’Connor’s for dinner and some drinks because we thought we had a lot in common, and hey, fellow snarky bloggers unite, right!? We had a very nice Femme Date and talked for a while. She had specifically asked me about a male commenter/reader to her blog, who said he knew me, and found her link through my blog page. She said his first name, which, I never called him by, just the short version, and she told me his screen name. I told her he is a friend of mine and that I used to work with him, and that HNK (who couldn’t make the 'Femme Date' that night) was good friends with him. She asked a few questions, and mentioned nothing more. Come to find out a week later, give or take a couple days, that her 'reader' had asked her out on a date, and she was gathering info (I gathered. :) ) Apparently they had hit it off so well through comments on schmen.com that they were off on a blind date! I was like, whoa! So, of course, I snooped through her blog posts to see for myself. And low and behold, there it was. The comments back and forth in such a flirty fashion that would make any car lover blush (if you know them, you know what I'm saying). It was the cutest flirting by written word, ever.

Long story short, they became inseparable. I got to grow closer to my new blog buddy and they announced their engagement on February 14th! Just today, they announced the date of the celebration! The minute I received the notice, I plugged it into my calendar. I truly have to say that they are meant to be. I am confident that if they didn’t find each other through my measly blog, that they would have run into each other at the grocery store or through a fender bender on the corner while admiring each other’s car. They deserve the happiness they bring each other and the differences between them that make them better people. I am so happy for you both, and I cannot wait to help celebrate your love!

So, my blog has created one love match. I still am so in awe by this.
I have about a 100% success rate. Maybe I should take over eHarmony, or start my own matchmaker show. It could work!
