From our first video call, I knew Jane was the talker and Dennis was the quiet one — Jane led every conversation, exactly as I'd come to expect. So when I walked into their wedding at the Links at Union Vale in Lagrangeville, NY, having never actually met either of them in person, I wasn't sure what to expect from Dennis. He jumped up from his seat the moment he saw me, shook my hand, and introduced himself with more enthusiasm than I'd been led to believe he had in him — turns out quiet and low-energy aren't the same thing. Their friends and family spent the day making that same discovery about each other, and by the toasts, the running joke was that Jane was the one who'd finally gotten Dennis onto a dance floor. True or not, both of them were still out there dancing well into the night, long after most guests would've called it.
