From the New York Times‘ wedding announcements:

The couple met during the summer of 2001 while chaperoning a field trip for a children’s literacy program in Washington.

“We spent most of the time talking about Pokémon and Harry Potter,” Ms. Pasachoff said.

A couple of days later, she sent Mr. Glaisyer an e-mail message inviting him to a 4:30 p.m. screening of “Himalaya,” a drama about Yak herding in Tibet.

Mr. Glaisyer called to say yes to the film, but hung up wondering if it was a date or just a friendly outing.

“I thought, 4:30? Yak herding? Maybe she is just being nice,” he remembered. Just to be sure, he called a couple of platonic girlfriends. “They weren’t that confident,” he said…

…After the movie, they went to dinner, then to another place for dessert, then to two used bookstores and finally a tea shop, where they began composing haiku.

No comment necessary.

Hat tip to the still-recovering Broken Spirit.
