Kyle proposed to me on Mt. Evans. We stopped at Mt. Goliath Visitor's center to catch a breath and the gorgeous views. Then, he decided that he wanted to go on a short hike. We hiked up a moderately difficult slope where he took hold of my hand and led me across snow covered drifts so I would not slip and fall. We found a secret spot to take a break, and of course I took out the camera to take a few pics. Kyle decided to prop the camera up on a log. He ran full-speed down the underbrush, making sure to beat the self-timer, and tripped and fell, while screaming in agonizing pain. He immediately grabbed his left ankle and I did not know what to do--you could say I was in a slight panic-y state. He instructed me to take off his hiking boot, and my hands started to shake as I untied each of the laces...I immediately noticed writing on his athletic sock: "Will U Marry Me?" I was in total shock from what was penned on the sock in permanent marker...then he pulled out the ring. He got the whole thing on tape without my knowing it! We're planning a vintage themed wedding in February of 2010 in Kyle's hometown of St. Louis. Thank you once again ChristianCafe.com for helping our cafe connection!

Dana and Kyle, ecstatic to be engaged!
[Editor's note: see March 2009 testimonial for Dana's original submission]


We began corresponding in June 2007. Sheff493 initially wrote to me in April/May 2007, but I had decided to let my membership expire and hadn't checked my messages for some time. Thankfully, before giving up on this dating site, I decided to check my mailbox one last time and found Sheff493's letter waiting for me. A deep friendship developed over a few months and we soon realized that we were falling for each other. We met in Canada on December 21st, 2008 for the first time and I joined him in England in the new year so we could be together. We became engaged on March 14th, 2009 and married on April 18th, 2009 in Moncton, NB. At this time we reside in England as newlyweds. We would like to thank ChristianCafe.com for facilitating our meeting and allowing God to bring us together.

Another in a way, reluctant testimonial! What I mean is -- a lot of people like myself and Melanie thought, "we'll try it but we're not sure it's worth it--but what else can we do to meet a good Christian date!?" Well what do you know--miracles do happen in God's right time. Of all my dabblings on Christian internet dating sites, I kept coming back to ChristianCafe.com to try to meet the balanced spiritual person I was looking to meet. I told myself, if you keep working on growing and being genuine as a person i.e. as a Christian, then she has to be out there. It turned out about 6 hours away! God in his love knew it had to be--when we each were ready, having had the experiences in life that we needed to mature as Christians each on our own life journey; that we would be ready and really appreciate it when we (finally!) met that special one we were meant to share our life with. Melanie and I have been through the mill of life, both as care givers, who often tended to be in emotionally unavailable relationships because of our family of origin issues. Yet it didn't stop us from learning to work through the baggage we all have--and must deal with. But that's the wonderful thing about doing the hard work of looking at ourselves and trusting God to heal whatever stuff as we mature into his likeness in Christ--there's always hope. And our loving Lord builds on the past so something even more beautiful can happen. And thus he ministers to our hearts desire to share a life with that someone unique and suited, so we can give and recieve love, care and affection. It sometimes still feels like a dream (and I was awfully patient waiting, which is a spiritual discipline it itself) as I've tried to do the Lord's will for my life. God is good and I can say without a doubt--I've found my best friend, lover and sister in the Lord, who is also a woman of God--as someone once said truly--a Proverbs 31 woman! She provides for the needs of her household starting with rising up early to pray! Someone suited to support me and discern God's way for me in ordained ministry as we desire to do the Lord's will together in service to Him, as a couple. And on this week of our first year's anniversary of having connected through ChristianCafe.com--we are celebrating our third week of marital bliss having had a beautiful ecumenical wedding at St. Joe's Church in Ottawa. Along with it went a beautiful reception at the Strathmere countryside estate surrounded by God's creation. Enjoy the pictures, including two reflections that share implicitly what we feel for each other...

I'm writing on behalf of my Dad and step-mom Carol. They both joined the site in 2003 because their Christian values are extremely important to them and they each wanted someone they could share their beliefs with. My dad pretty soon found Carol and started exchanging messages with her. He was worried at first that having 5 kids might scare her off, but then found out she had 3 of her own, close in age to some of me and my siblings. After a few dates Carol and her kids came to our house for dinner. It was awkward at first, but at the end of the night we were getting along pretty well and having some good laughs. They married around Christmas in 2008. Carol gained 5 step children, a daughter-in-law and grandchild in the process! We are now one big happy family (most of the time) and thanks to my Dad meeting Carol I now have a step-sister who is also my best friend. I'm glad that my Dad has found happiness again, thanks to your site!
Kalia, on behalf of John & Carol August 2009


John and Carol, with family


We're married!!! My name is Elena and I joined your free trial offer in May. On my second day I met a wonderful man named Douglas. We chatted on ChristianCafe.com and then eventually on the phone. Within two weeks he purchased a ticket for me to come meet him. Now I am a VERY cautious and bright woman, but the grace of God was all over this relationship. We met and had our first date on May 30th in West Virginia. On July 5th he asked me to marry him in front of the historic Alice Austen house in Staten Island , N.Y.. I am truly blessed because I met the man of my dreams through your web site... We wanted to inform you that we are planning a wedding for February 26, 2010 in West Virginia. And thank you for being the tool that God used to bring true love together.
