Weddings, pet shops and libraries are three of my favorite things, and Saturday I got to go to a wedding.
What was interesting about this particular wedding was how the bride met the groom. She lived at the north end of Carson City and he at the south. Both were raised in Carson, though they had never met.
Now get this ... he arrives home one day to find a package at his front door addressed to her, drives that package across town, knocks on her door, she answers, and they fall in love. Ten months later they are saying their vows at the Bliss Mansion, toasting a legion of friends with champagne, and riding off in a horse- drawn carriage to a life together.
You can't tell me some things are not meant to be, and sometimes that magician, fate, steps right in and takes the matter off our hands. This happens more times than we know.
I remember a girl cutting in front of me in the bank one day, and thinking she was kind of rude, but the next thing I knew, we were watching Monday Night Football together.
We all like to think we can put a note in a bottle, toss it into the sea, and several years later the Maid of Orleans will come knocking at our door asking to meet the author. These things do happen.
I know a happily married couple who met colliding at an intersection. Neither of them was hurt, but while she sat in her car crying, he attended to her.
Samuel Clemens wandered into Charlie Langdon's stateroom, far out at sea, and on Charlie's bed stand was his sister's cameo. Olivia's loving hand would exalt Mark Twain from a western writer to an American writer.
Love has its own mysterious ways of bringing people together, yet it's always tempting to go diving in headlong, and try to force the natural process.
An online dating service can be exciting I suppose, and perhaps sometimes rewarding, but how can you beat meeting that someone you're going to spend the rest of your life loving, by chance? You can't!
I guess it all amounts to a maxim that I will set down here for posterity: "You can order your firewood, you can order your snow tires, but you can't order your mate."
The person least qualified to pick a potential mate from an online dating service could possibly be you.
I believe you're better off socializing with the friends of your choice, and waiting for fate to deliver that perfect mate.
Destiny, when left to its own devices, will get the job done. Just ask Marc and Melissa of Carson City, who waited for Fed Ex to botch a delivery, and hand-deliver a honeymoon in Hawaii ...
