March 14 represents pi, an important mathematical number that begins 3.14 and goes on and on from there (3.14, get it?). It’s also the birthday of genius Albert Einstein. And if you add an “e” to make it pie, you get a tasty treat.

When John and Emily Fuentez first met while working together at a Best Buy store five years ago, they didn’t seem to have much in common.
“Our management styles are totally opposite,” John says. “She’s black and white, I’m completely gray. But we just started chatting, and one thing led to another.”
