Glenn and Ellen Love Story

Glenn didn’t think he was the romantic type—not anymore, at least. After decades of doing things by the book, raising a family, working hard, and staying sharp with 30 years of sports officiating, he thought maybe his life’s chapter on love had already been written.

But then came Ellen.

It was the kind of introduction that never would’ve happened otherwise. Thanks to their matchmaker’s keen intuition, their paths crossed—and neither of them looked back.

Ellen was unexpected in all the best ways. Not just because she was full of life and laughter, or because she could talk to a man in a way that felt honest and warm—but because she knew how to listen. Their conversations didn’t feel forced. He could talk about fishing on the lake, or his love for golf, or some ridiculous joke he heard at the comedy club, and she’d be right there with him—laughing, present, and genuinely interested.

She lived life fully—cooking, traveling, horseback riding, even extreme couponing. She’d raised a family, held it all down, and somehow kept her spark. Glenn admired that. Her energy matched his own, and her values—family, loyalty, love—ran deep.

At first, he hesitated. He told his matchmaker, “Maybe it’s too good to be true.” But as the weeks passed, the pieces fit. Ellen wasn’t a fantasy—she was real. And the way she looked at him, the way they laughed together, the way she always had time to talk—it all felt right. He’d been looking for someone who was loving, trustworthy, and down for adventure. Someone to build something with. In Ellen, he found exactly that.

Their story moved naturally. A first date that turned into a second. Long talks. Shared dinners. A Thanksgiving invite and meeting one another’s family. One day, the idea of growing old together wasn’t a question—it was a plan.

And so they made it official. Glenn and Ellen got married.

Two people who never would’ve met if not for a little matchmaking magic.
