    Yeah less is definitely more. I've seen friends' websites that went into every gory detail of their decade long relationship from high school, analyzing every break up and make up... from both the bride's and the groom's perspectives. 

    Short and sweet or nothing at all!

    I had the same dilemma. Working on our website stumbled upon how to say that we met online without it sounding 'desperate'? I just wrote that we are firm believers of fate, kind of implying that we met in the online world.

    I agree with not putting it on there.  I just took that page off our website.  I feel like people think they are going to hear this incredibly romantic story and then they see our story.  So I just took it off.

    I'm not engaged but people ask my FH and I all the time.  We met on the net, a story which I would like to switch with 'met at the grocery store' or the like.  But Mr. O insists on bragging that he met me on the net.

    My only thing is I gussy up the story to say we met on Eharmony instead of Plenty of Fish.  People who are still uncomfortable with the idea of internet dating seem to accept Eharmony as being 'ok' and those couples on the commercials are so darn cute!

    Check out my bio. My sweetie and I met randomly through TWITTER. i love the story. I think it's so random and funny and turned wildly romantic. If they don't like it? F* em. You're marrying your wonderful fiance. Not them.

    @Diz:

    Twitter is so modern.

    I almost think meeting through an avenue like that causes less high brows because it means you weren't on the net specifically trolling for love.

    i would go a different direction: tell them you met when you were a stripper and he came in every weeknight by himself and would cry all night through the performances.  that'll shut them all up.

    @Quietserenity:I agree that you should keep it simple. Its never a good idea to tell all of your business:0)
