Then what was that special in this picture?

Trying To Find

The couple was astonished to see that their picture is breaking the records. They really could not understand why? It was just another picture for them and it wasn’t anything extraordinary. Nor was it any special occasion on which the image was clicked and neither was the background any unusual. The couple began reading the comments to comprehend this much of praise. And then they found it in the bottom. What was the difference in this one?

How It Began

The popular couple, Wendy Joseph and Dan Hennessey were not always this popular. Looking back they realize that their story dates back to the times when social media wasn’t such a big world either. Strangely, the digital world played a vital part not only in their success story of being the “most talked-of couple” but also in bringing them together. Seeming to be quite opposite of each other how did this couple meet?

Looking Back

In the year 2006, Wendy and Dan met for the first time. They both we young and jolly then and were cherishing their college life. Dan was a year older to Wendy. He was 18 and Wendy was 17. She just graduated from her high school and wanted to pursue a career in public healthcare. Dan was a sophomore at college was studying Exercise Science. Till then they didn’t know that their paths will cross and that too in the most unconventional way.

A New Website

Dan bore the personality of an extrovert being. He was an outgoing individual who loved to party with friends and enjoyed meeting new people and building rapport. During this time only, a new American Social Media website namely Facebook stepped in. Facebook was very young then and only teenagers and college students used it to find their friends and at times a date. Dan was attracted towards the website, something compatible of his nature.
