About: The Triangle
Theresa has loved Ethan from afar ever since she was a little girl. She always dreamed that someday they would be married...even before she met him! When Theresa finally met Ethan, he was about to get engaged to childhood sweetheart Gwen Hotchkiss...but Theresa never lost faith that she would land her Prince Charming. Once Ethan and Gwen became engaged, Theresa became the wedding planner and therefore spent lots of time with Ethan. Theresa finally proclaimed her love for Ethan and eventually, Ethan realized he returned Theresa's feelings. Ethan broke off his engagement to a devastated Gwen and asked Theresa to marry him. Theresa was deliriously happy, but in trying to hold onto Ethan, she told one too many lies...and wound up losing the man she loves. Ethan broke off the engagement and eventually found his way back to Gwen, who was waiting for him with open arms. But no matter what, Theresa still believes she will get her "happily ever after" with Ethan.
