It took me another two years after the wedding to tell my friends and family that I actually met my wife online. Except of course, for the one’s on my wife’s side who promised to maintain my Starbucks “decoy story.” When we were planning seating arrangements, I had to make sure that my friends and family were on one side of the yacht, and my wife’s were on the other. Except for how much I was freaking out about my friends potentially finding out that I lied to them about how I met the woman I’m marrying. Everything about it was better than expected. We got married on a beautiful yacht, overlooking Newport Beach, CA. This is because she was honest with her friends and family about how we met. I did my best to keep my wife’s friends away from my friends at mutual gatherings, too. I was even specific about the exact location-“We met at the Starbucks in downtown Brea, right next to the Corner Bakery.” I’d pepper lots of other little details (ehem: lies) about what I said and how I approached her, but my story about where we met (Starbucks) never changed. Little did they know, I was too embarrassed to tell them we met on. That’s what I’d tell people when they asked about how I met my girlfriend (now, wife.)
