WOW! We never thought it would happen, but when you let God's fingers pen your love story...watch out!! With gratitude to Him who writes all our days in His book, we now love in the light of His love from this day forward as husband and wife. And we thank ChristianCafe.com for providing the venue in which God had NorthernSon872 of Corning, N.Y., meet His602 from Wappingers Falls, N.Y. (USA). Michael and I both posted free ten day trials in May, 2011. I had determined to just wait and see who might contact me. After earlier times of travail for both of us, we had learned the hard way that our lives are in His hands and whatever is God's will for us is best. Michael's first email arrived the day after I signed on. We started communicating and discovered that we loved the Lord above all else and were both writers (Michael's latest novel is a Christian story that centers on the question, "If I had a chance to change the past would I?")!! After 47 days of getting to know each other within the boundaries of a God honoring relationship, we eloped! Granted, it sounds rather zany for a couple in their fifties. But we had a sure sense of God's direction and a strong peace in moving forward. God's fingerprints were wide across a spectrum of details leading up to our union proving, as goes a line in a popular movie, that unspeakably good things can happen late in the game! We were married on Monday, July 18, 2011 in Cape Ann, Massachusetts. And as they say, the rest is HIStory for us! With gratitude to God, the Author of love whose fingers pen all of our life stories, we look forward to the chapters yet to be written...

We met on ChristianCafe.com back in 2005. At the time, we were both seeing other people; however, Anthony kept me on his email distribution list over the years when he sent out photos he had taken and prayer requests. Sometimes we would email one on one the odd time as encouragement in response to prayer requests. In the spring of 2010, we started communicating via email more one on one since we both learned that our previous relationships had ended and we were no longer seeing anyone. Anthony, an avid photographer, asked me if I was going to the local jazz festival in July. I said I was a volunteer and would be there, and if I saw a tall man with a Nikon camera around his neck, I would come and introduce myself. Up to this point I had never met Anthony in person, even though we only lived 10 minutes away from each other in the same city! Well, on July 16th, 2010, which happened to be Anthony's birthday AND my born again birthday (on July 16th, 1981, I gave my heart to the Lord), I did see a tall man with a Nikon camera. I went over and introduced myself and sure enough, it was Anthony. We exchanged pleasantries and went on our way. Well, Anthony emailed me thereafter and eventually I decided to invite him to a music gala event in August which was our first 'official' date. He accepted my invitation and the rest is history. We were engaged December 26th, 2010 and married October 8th, 2011.

My husband, Colin, and I met through ChristianCafe.com. I lived in Ohio and he in Australia. Four months later we decided to meet in person. In July of 2010, my daughter and I flew to Australia to meet Colin and his family. It has been a long journey but when GOD is in it, it is an awesome journey and ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD! Seventeen months later on November 5, 2011 we were married. We are all now living in Australia. Thank you for being a singles site that keeps true Christian values, morals and standards. Technology CAN be used for good.

We wanted to let you know that we have found this site to be a an important part of our lives. We have met in June, mostly through the forums, and got married on November 14th. We both are
extremely grateful for finding each other, for fellowship on ChristianCafe.com and we could not imagine how we would have met was it not for this website.

An update from Kathleen and Allen, who married in 2009. If it weren't for Sydney, Verna and ChristianCafe.com, we wouldn't be here and married!! I think of you and Verna often, and miss being at the Cafe. My 5 years as a prayer warrior on the prayer page was such an important part of my spiritual growth and I took each responsibility of prayer very seriously. Nothing pleases me more than the blessing of being able to encourage people in the Lord (and in themselves). So many hopeless, hurting, lonely people there and I was honored to be able to do the Lord's work and fellowship with so many other believers. I'm still in touch with many of them today! I also loved that your site wasn't exclusively for dating. I mean it is, but my point is there was real opportunity for prayer, as well as I made lots of friends with other women! Allen and I were just talking this morning about the other, so called "Christian" sites and how there is no comparison to your site. The commitment you have to keeping ChristianCafe.com "truly Christian", by setting real Christian guidelines, is what sets you above and apart from the rest. It's why there is so much success in marriage from your site and how the marriages grow deeper in Christ because of its pure foundation. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to say "Thank You!" from Allen and me, and Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family! If it weren't for the birth of our Saviour, we wouldn't be here today! Much love and many blessings in the new year!
