“She was the funniest girl I ever met,” Matthew Pierce Hanson said about his wife during an interview. “There was an enormous depth to her personality and character that she didn’t reveal to a lot of people. I found that very appealing.”

“By working so closely together for a year, I got to know him very well,” Rebecca Jarvis said of her husband. “I had already seen how well he treated other girls he dated before me, and I knew how genuine he was. Investment banking is a brutal business, but he always had the ability to do the comic-relief thing to help relieve the stress, not just for me but for other members of our group. So by the time he asked me out, I was able to see who he really was without him having to make a first impression.”
