How we met

The happy couple were each having a good run at the online dating scene here in
SF, when Swoon.com made the match. Yep, kids, they're a bona fide Internet
dating success story. About a year and a half later, they were shacking up in the
Haight-Ashbury district. Then on March 30, 2003, Eric decided to make an honest
woman of Annette by proposing on a road trip up the Oregon Coast. After the
wedding, the pair plan to resume their Las Vegas-based white tiger magic act.
