For Meredeth Moss, group director for the Arizona market of Tiffany & Co., and Jim
Moss, owner and president of Hop Cassidy Pools, love was twice as nice the second
time around. The couple was set up on a blind date by mutual friends in early 2001,
soon after Jim had separated from his former wife. “I’d been single for nine years,”
Meredeth says, while Jim notes, “I’d been single for nine weeks.”

After that fateful first date (“I knew the night I met her, that if she felt the same way,
it was going to be forever,” Jim says), it wasn’t too long before the couple said “I do”
in front of hundreds of family members and friends at the Phoenix Desert Botanical
Garden, following three fun-filled days of celebration. The festivities leading up to the
wedding day included brunch at The Phoenician Resort and a rehearsal dinner at Cave
Creek’s Buffalo Chip Saloon & Steakhouse—a dichotomy that perfectly depicts this
blissful pair. “When we were first dating, people would say we were ‘leather and lace,’”
Jim says, citing his penchant for blue jeans, cowboy boots and Harleys and his wife’s
love of five-star resorts and her career with one of the world’s most high-end brands.
However, even with their differences, the Mosses are one dynamic duo. “If anyone
could have half the happiness we have, they’ll have a great life,” Jim says. —M.L.
