How We Met

From fateful dates to unexpected connections, romance is sparked in the most unbelievable way. It also makes for a very memorable story... one that gets passed along as folklore among families and friends. Jeff Simmermon sells his possessions and crosses the globe to meet his Internet love; Nimisha Ladva breaks her parents' rules and dates outside her Indian culture; and Rob Becker dons a mascot costume to get noticed by a basketball star. Three storytellers, three interpretations of HOW WE MET, hosted by Theresa Okokon.
