When I
reflect on Laurie and Paul's love story, their deep friendship, and how they
interact with other, it is almost obvious that they would be matched through a
scientifically accurate algorithmic formula. They are so comfortable with each
other, there is such an ease to their interactions, that it is difficult to
believe they are today celebrating just two years together, since they met. So,
no surprise these two give you faith in science, formulas and numbers.
However,
Laurie and Paul also remind us, if you will forgive the pun, that not
everything can be accounted for. Love is still mysterious and not quantifiable.
Love, for instance, can make you misperceive the actual passage of time. This
happened on this very day two years ago. As Laurie describes, "We met at
7:30 that Thursday (March 14, 2013), and before I knew it, it was past 11pm
that night... After that night, we were pretty much inseparable." Not very
scientific or quantifiable, but if you too have been or are in love, you get
it!
Laurie and
Paul's love continued to grow, and the harmony of their life together felt so
perfect, that six months later, the deal was sealed. Laurie mentions that some
folks couldn't resist entertaining an audit of the situation. "Some people
thought we were moving too quickly in our relationship, but we knew that we
were meant for each other." Now, sure, there is no specific place for that
type of sentiment on the ledger or the spreadsheet, but looking at them here
and now, can anyone doubt that they made the right decision? All that is left
now is to make that official, so without further ado, let's do just that!
