A story of love, spelling, and good public relations

I’m wondering whether the relationship between newly engaged couple Megan Lawless and Jasper Jasperse would count in those statistics. The couple met when Lawless, while playing the mobile Scrabble knockoff Words With Friends, decided to play a random opponent instead of a trusted friend.

The first game went well. It begat a rematch. One thing led to another … yada yada yada … Jasper’s a firefighter from Holland … yada yada yada … and suddenly their story is fodder for a New York Times feature.

There you have it, ladies. You can officially stop searching the term “hedge fund investor” on eHarmony. Mr. Right could be the random dude who just dropped “quartzy” on you.
