Jennifer Dee joined the St. Clair County chapter of BNI in February 2004. The owner of Dill’s Floral Haven asked Jennifer to take her place, and she quickly became friends with all of the chapter members. Eventually she started chatting online with long-time member Dean Hardt, and the harmless small talk about friends and family went on for several months.
“I finally just asked him: How come you have never asked me out?" Jennifer said. Dean immediately asked for her phone number and called to ask her out on a date. Their first date was Sunday October 4, 2005. Dates #2 and #3 immediately followed on Monday and Tuesday.
Dean had secretly ordered a dozen red roses on Monday (from Dill’s of course) and gave them to her that Tuesday. Then at their BNI meeting that Thursday, he handed Jennifer a referral slip for his order.
“I just smiled and laughed” Jennifer said. Two years later, Dean asked Jennifer to marry him. She said “yes”. The wedding is September 1, 2007.
Ask Dean or Jennifer if they have ever received a referral from BNI?
