("The bride, 28, is a junior at City College of New York [a bit old]. * * * The groom, 31, is a fourth-grade teacher at the Cathedral School of St John the Divine [Episcopal, thus private] in New York. * * * 'Ben was my 116th OkCupid date [in at most a year],' she said. She was his third.  Ms Tessler's extensive OkCupid dating roster didn't bother Mr Jacoff. 'I was so enamored with her,' he said. 'It takes a real effort to do that much dating' ")

(2) Nora Mendis, Samuel Ellison; A road trip takes a detour to love.

Quote:

"The couple met in 2006 when he got a job at Darwin;s, a sandwich shop in Harvard Square, where she was a manager while studying experimental film at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. [Ne was a Harvard student, concentrating in English.]

" 'We were just good friends, and I had no interest in men romantically at that time,' she said. 'My crowd is, and was, lots of queer people where the idea of sexuality is fluid, and I felt I was only interested in women.'  In August 2007, after each of their relationships had ended with the women they [Nora and Samuel] were seeing, they took a road trip from Boston to New Orleans.
