Couple #20 - A Match Made in a Massage Parlor Heaven

Jenny and Jason are both massage therapists who met while co-working at a spa. At that time, Jenny was married and Jason was torturing himself by chasing other women. After three years of watching Jason cycle through romances, Jenny became a divorcee. During one fateful night at work, these two wandering souls shared a conversation that seemed to cover eveything all at once. As Jenny says, "I felt more connected to him than I had to another person in years." Jenny marked her return to the dating scene, after a 10-year hiatus, by calling Jason up and asking him out, but he turned her down! Apparently, he had band practice that night and, he was so discombobulated from the offer, he forgot to ask for a raincheck. Kicking himself over a lost opportunity, Jason emailed Jenny a few days later and asked her out this time. Upon receiving his email, Jenny became giddy like a teenager. She jumped up and down around her apartment. These two soulmates, who fit together like jig-saw puzzle pieces, have been together ever since.
Unfortunately, the collapse of the economy took with it a nest egg that was intended to be used for their wedding nuptials. The setback took the wind right out of this couple and they have been floundering for ways to create the wedding they envision since. They're keeping their fingers crossed that the Hidden Valley's "Who Wants to Win a Wedding?" contest will be the answer they've been seeking.
Good luck to Jason and Jenny our "Who Wants to Win a Wedding?" couple #20!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Jen's mom & dad are all for this union, so that's good enough for me. Hadn't heard how you met. LOVE your love story. Something to tell the future little Jens or Jasons. I vote for you both.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Can't wait to welcome Jason to this crazy family. :) :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I've known Jason since the first grade and this is the first time I saw him with someone I thought he could be with for the long haul. So give these two crazy-kids a dream wedding already!

    ReplyDelete
  43. As a friend of the groom-to-be since we were 7 years old, I may be biased, but I can honestly say no one deserves it more. It's a rare thing to genuinely care about others these days, and Jason has always been one of the most caring people I've ever met. Sometimes to his detriment -- he always gives others the benefit of the doubt, which has led to him being taken advantage of in relationships and business dealings in the past. But I'm happy he's found someone who can give him the care he deserves, and vice versa. And you have to give props to a bride and groom who share a profession that helps people feel *better*, especially in this day and age, when everything seems geared to making people feel *worse*!

    All the best, Jason and Jen -- I'm pulling for you.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I wish you two the best of luck on winning as well as a promising life together.

    My fingers are crossed for you both!

    Much love, Amber

  45. Love has a way of bringing the right people together. You both deserve a fabulous wedding!

    Beer
    Barbeque
    Bluegrass musicm and
    Bib overalls for the bride,& groom and wedding party and guests :o)

    Whaddaya think? If you don't win this we can still do it :o)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  54. I don't know,
    That 4B wedding sounds like a lot of fun and it would be a darn site cheaper than all that fanciful stuff. It sure would be memorable. Ya'll have to learn how to clog to dance to the bluegrass music though. LOL

  62. The Mouse on the Barroom Floor
    Some Guinness was spilled on the barroom floor
    when the pub was shut for the night.
    Out of his hole crept a wee brown mouse
    and stood in the pale moonlight.
    He lapped up the frothy brew from the floor,
    then back on his haunches he sat.
    And all night long you could hear him roar,
    'Bring on the goddam cat!'


    Good Luck Jen and Jason :o)

  63. Jenny and Jason,

    and rich in blessings.
    May you know nothing but happiness
    from this day forward.

    Love,
    Uncle Seamus

Being her single gay guy friend I watched these two date and became aware of their passion equally emotional as well as physical. I know they have been financially strapped and Jenny dreams of a wedding to suit their soulmate status. I feel she ad jason deserve this
