This Couple Couldn’t Understand Why Their Photo Went Viral Until They Read the Comments

They were fairly well known in the fitness community, so Dan Hennessey and Wendy Joseph were used to some attention. But they had no idea why their anniversary photo had gone viral. Then they read all the comments to figure out what was going on and it suddenly made a lot of sense.

He Was Seeking Companionship

18-year-old Dan Hennessey from Edison, New Jersey, completed two years of exercise science at Montclair State. It was a great achievement, but he was lonely. So, he created a Facebook page to connect with new friends.

But he never knew how much this would change his life…

She Thought He Had Ulterior Motives

17-year-old Wendy Joseph was one of several young women Hennessey had sent friend requests to. She was a high school student from South Orange, New Jersey.

But when she learned he had sent a friend request to her friend Daphne, Joseph suspected he had ulterior motives…

She Didn’t Know the Whole Truth

Hennessey had found a profile for a girl named Daphne. So, he sent her a message, but she never replied. So, he started sifting through her friends list, and that’s when he found Wendy. But at the time, she had no idea what was going on.

She Wasn’t Sure About Him

It wasn’t Wendy’s style to meet strange men who contacted her through social media and she didn’t see much of a reason to change that, either.

She felt that doing so would have been a bad idea, so she tried to ignore his message at first, but she couldn’t have expected what he would try next…
