Two delightful stories about love on the West Coast. —

HOW TO MEET AND MARRY A MAN IN SEATTLE... — There are all the usual ways, of course, but here's how Janine Hartman and Meg Remington did it.

FIRST COMES MARRIAGE

JANINE: My grandfather Hartman arranged a husband for me! Zach Thomas, the intended groom, was just as outraged as I was. But Gramps insisted we'd be "a perfect match." FIRST COMES MARRIAGE, according to him.

WANTED: PERFECT PARTNER

MEG: My teenage daughter, Lindsey, had the nerve to place a personal ad on my behalf -- WANTED: PERFECT PARTNER. Worse, Steve Conlan, who answered the ad, was perfect, according to her.

Does Grandfather know best? Did a teenage matchmaker get it right? You decide!
