A Modern (Non)Fairy Tale: Begin at the Beginning

Colour Portrait of Carol Channing, 1973, by Allan Warren

  As our Wed-Site proudly proclaims, although we are an adorable couple, we did not meet cute. Good-bye, girlish dreams of falling in love classic-movie style. Hello, 21st-Century grown-up reality. We met via that modern Dolly Levi, the Internet Dating Site (I will leave it to your fervid imaginations to figure out which one did the honors). We soon learned that face-to-face contact is not a necessary element of falling in love. Within a few weeks--before our first date, before even our first phone call--we were bandying about baby names. What is more romantic than unflappable certainty? I can't think of a thing.
