Lyssa & Job in Denver, CO

For the longest time, it didn’t seem like Lyssa and Job would get together. After they first met, Job asked a mutual friend for Lyssa’s number, but he told Job she’d probably turn him down. The two were both attending medical school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and ran into each other all the time (“It turns out that this was all carefully coordinated,” Lyssa says.) The Bride Lyssa Bierig, 31, a physician The Groom Job Chacko, 31, a physician The Date September 10 Finally, Job asked Lyssa for her number, but every time he called, she came up with some excuse why she couldn’t go out. Finally, he simply told her, I’m picking you up in 15 minutes, and they went out for coffee. As he was driving me home, he asked if he could make me dinner later that week, and I told him I wasn’t sure if I was interested in dating him, Lyssa recalls. He said, 'Really? We need to talk about this, then, because I think we would be a great couple.' They wound up talking on the steps of Lyssa’s building for two hours, and eventually Job’s confidence and sense of humor couldn’t help but win her over. More than seven years after they started dating, Job proposed at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.
