Canadian tourist Douglas McTaggart spotted New Yorker Brien Convery across a crowded New York City bar in April 1998. The two spent a whirlwind Easter weekend together, rollerblading through Brooklyn, breakfasting at Tiffany's and kickstarting a surprise love story.
(CNN) — Douglas McTaggart first spotted Brien Convery across a crowded room.
It was Friday April 10, 1998 and Canadian McTaggart, then 32 and living in San Francisco, was visiting New York City for a long weekend.
McTaggart and his friend Nadine had spent all day exploring, ending with a nightcap at Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel before turning in for the night.

When she was in her 40s Jenny Teeters had a serious secret drinking problem, but, she says, her success hid it exceptionally well for years. At one point she managed a high six-figure tech job, raised two teenage girls, finished her MBA, and taught Zumba in her spare time and somehow she did it all while intoxicated.But she got to a place where she knew she needed help, and like with what a new study found, she found what finally made her sobriety stick was developing a newfound faith in a higher power.
