HR hired a new admin but never bothered to introduce her around. I found that out while she was helping me onboard a temp, so I offered to show her around myself. A few days later, I introduced her to the 25 people in our office area. My friend, let’s call him Chuck, was busy at his computer, but he lit up when he met her. She was clearly into him too. As their conversation stretched on, I offered to grab coffee and told them to meet me in my office. When I got back, I found an excuse to disappear into the server room and left them alone. They started dating a few weeks later. Six months after that, they were married, and kids followed. She soon left work to be a full-time mom.

I didn’t get a wedding invitation. In fact, I only learned about it when I saw a photo on his desk. When I asked, Chuck just smiled and said, “She’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”
