Special People - Jeremy & Lorin

Every couple has a story about how they met. While I won't go into the details of our first date right now (ask Mike sometime why he was drinking white wine at dinner), Liz and I both want to recognize two dear friends of ours who were the ones who "set us up".

Mike became friends with Jeremy and Lorin because Jeremy went to MIT Sloan with Mike. Perhaps because of his culinary skills, Lorin - quite an accomplished chef and a grad of the Cornell hotel school - took a liking to Mike and made it her mission to find him a worthy mate. Quite some time later, while at a Cornell alumni event, Lorin bumped into Liz, whom she had not seen in many years, but instantly knew she would be a great match for Mike. Within about 2 minutes of conversation, Lorin was asking "are you single? Good! You HAVE to meet my friend Mike Volpe. He is awesome and the best guy ever." (author promises there is no embellishment... well maybe a bit) There are lots more details behind the story, but I will leave those for a later time or perhaps a toast on the wedding weekend.

Jeremy & Lorin - thank you so much for making all this happen. Liz and I owe you both so much for making both of us so happy!
