Love on Yahoo Poker

I found love on Yahoo Poker. Yes, it sounds strange, but one day I found myself with a bit of extra time on my hands and to entertain myself, I decided to try out some poker. I wasn't very good, so I choose a beginners lounge to try out my skills.

There was this one guy who always talked to me. He had recently begun playing as well, and one night we starting IMing each other, and before we knew it, we had talked for hours. The good news was that we only lived about 50 miles apart. He asked me out for coffee, and I said yes.

We met on the first of December for the first time. I was so nervous because this wasn't something I had ever done before. I had a few fleeting thoughts of bailing on the whole plan, but the weeks that we had been talking told me we had a lot in common with each other.

That coffee was great, and so was he! How did it turn out? Well, it's five years later now. We dated for almost three years and now we have been married for over two years. We made a bet on love, and it paid off big time!
