Tessa and Thaddeus met at a Jujitsu night neither of them wanted to go to. Tessa went at a friend’s insistence, though she devised a plan to bring nail polish with her so that she’d have wet nails and wouldn’t have to participate in the more athletic parts of the evening. Thaddeus had been convinced to stay for the Jujitsu night after participating in a bible study the host had earlier that day. The two started talking and quickly became friends. They started dating a year later and are now six years into their marriage.
