Couple #3

Hi, we are Kia and Terry. We were very lucky with how we met online. We were both new to Miami and met in October 2004 on craigslist.org through "Housing - Apartments for Rent." He did not get the place because of my other roomate's decision (they would have shared a bathroom and she wanted someone with more muscles). I am glad, dating a roomate would have been weird. We then met again on craigslist seven weeks later through "For Sale - Tickets." I wanted a ticket to go to a show by myself and he turned out to be the anonymous poster with an extra ticket for sale. He did not hold a grudge over the apartment and offered to drive since he knew where I lived. We talked to each other for hours, had a casual dinner at Pizza Rustica, and saw an amazing Kraftwerk show. We consider that night of 19 November 2004 our first date even though neither of us were searching for romance. We have been partners in crime since then.

The random special qualities about us are that we are environmentalists, we smile and laugh a lot, and we plan to surf together the morning of our wedding before we have to start getting ready. In our everyday lives I am a Biology graduate student and Terry is a data analyst.

We are getting married on 20 January 2008 on the beach of Punta Uva, Costa Rica. It is a destination wedding for us and we are looking forward to spending several days together with our friends and family in that slice of paradise.

We found this Simply Captivating Productions contest because of Erika. Her wedding was recently photographed by Melissa and she posted the contest on the local South Florida board of theknot.com.
