Illustrated March
Does anyone find the way Andy Roddick met his wife a bit tacky?
I quote from Wikipedia:
"While flipping through the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Roddick spotted Brooklyn Decker, a fashion model. He had his agent contact her. The two dated since at least the 2007 Davis Cup. On March 31, 2008, Roddick announced on his website that he and Decker had become engaged and they were then married in Austin on April 17, 2009."
I could envision this sort of conversation between their two agents, though it was probably more diplomatic:
"Hey, my client saw your client in the SI Swimsuit issue, and he finds your client smoking hot and would like to meet her."
Does anyone else think that this is tacky way of meeting your future wife? I also think it's humorous as well.
actually i do, hah, never liked the beginning of their story, it sounds like "wife shopping", he picked her and his agent arrange the delivery 
but they seem to work as a couple and apparently she's very good for him, he said it on his presser the other day, she's his backup, and he can open up to her, which is what spouses should do.-

She had been sitting by the stream behind the cabin for an hour or so dwelling upon her life. She said a little prayer and got up to pack and go home. The weekend was over. She looked up as she stood and my God there was a man falling from the sky, his parachute trailing behind not working. He hit in the trees, she heard branches cracking and then he landed in the stream face down with a huge splash.
Then he slowly started drifting. She ran toward him and to her amazement he raised his head, coughed and started making toward the stream bank. He was strong, pulling himself out of the water on shore and he was standing when she got to him. "Are you alright, what can I do?" He coughed while saying "Lady, I am super alright. Five minutes ago I knew I was dead".
She said, "Without a doubt that is the most amazing thing I have ever seen or shall ever see again. Come to the cabin and sort yourself out. I have a cell phone I am sure you need right now. The pilot of the plane you jumped from also believes you were dead, surely."
She finished packing while he was on the phone and was ready to go when he finished. She drove him to the little airfield nearby. They chatted a bit on the way and he was gone back to his life. She was bothered by this episode in her life for a couple of weeks.
Of course she had told her Mother and folks at work, plus it was in the local paper on the front page. Finally she told her close friend at work. "Mary I am troubled and when I tell you why please don't laugh at me.
Before that man fell out of the sky practically in my lap I had just finished a prayer asking that I would meet a nice man." Mary looked stunned. Mary believed in signs and omens and of course she jumped all over this. "Betty, My God, he was sent to you from heaven!" Mary ranted on and on so that night she called her mother. Her Mother asked her Father and her Father asked the Minister. The Minister, called Mary.
It was every one's considered opinion that Mary get in touch with this man and just be up front and tell him the story. Betty thought, "Good grief, how embarrassing is that?" She called that little airfield and asked for Ron saying who she was so she could ask for his phone number. The man there said Ron was wondering how to find her. He was wanting to speak to her. Ron was expected this afternoon, so Betty gave her cell number. When he called he wanted to thank her by taking her to dinner if she was free to go. Mary waited until the third date to tell him about her prayer.
