Just in time for Valentine's Day, We Met On the Internet is a heartwarming photo series that shows people love is just around the digital corner. All a person needs to do is put themselves out there online and let the connections come about. Although not as easy as it looks, these happy couples show that the rewards are fruitful.
Created by photographer Jena Cumbo and writer Gina Tron, the We Met On the Internet photo series also shows people just how many options there are out there for such love connections. From using a tattoo dating site to the infamous 'Missed Connection' section on Craigslist and, not as commonly, the classified advertisement website's Free Stuff section, there are a multitude of ways to find likeminded people to share the rest of one's life with.
