[name_f]Laurianne[/name_f] " [name_f]Lori[/name_f] " [name_f]Belinda[/name_f] [Kirkham] [name_m]Fielding[/name_m] (30) is [name_m]Ty[/name_m] and Ci’s friend who set up the blind date between the former and [name_f]Trisha[/name_f]. Becoming a matchmaker is a bit ironic in Loris’ eyes, as her mom actually used to run a dating agency. Her mom’s now retired, but [name_f]Lori[/name_f] grew up hearing all sorts of stories, although initially she was more interested in the amusing [and typically disastrous] ones. Being an events coordinator, this spirit has lived on in what Loris’ own job can lead her into.
[name_f][/name_f]While they joke about it now, Loris’ husband to feeling a bit intimidated when he met his now mother-in-law, but thankfully that didn’t last, as Loris’ mom is actually a very easygoing person, who never meddled in her daughters’ romantic life. [name_f]Lori[/name_f] also jokes her moms’ career is what led to she and her husband having a pretty distinct meet cute [name_f][/name_f]- at least in a mysteries of the universe way.
[name_f][/name_f]They were both stuck in a terrible traffic jam on a coach and ended up chatting to one another because there were so few people on board. [name_f]Lori[/name_f] did attempt to speak to said others but they either wanted to sleep or the conversation just didn’t spark. With her husband though, things just clicked. They can still chat away for hours at a time, and this is sometimes what they end up doing once their three-year-old daughter is tucked up in bed.
