Dear ChristianCafe.com, "The LORD has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." (Psalm 126:3) In September 2005, Mary (maidservantofchrist858) and I (pilgrim420) met in the Cafe. I saw Mary's profile and was impressed by the beliefs, ideals, and values she expressed. Over the next few weeks we exchanged messages in the Cafe, then we corresponded by email and an instant messenger. When I realized our friendship was growing and deepening, I wanted to speak with her by telephone. Appreciative of the protectiveness of Mary's family, I suggested that her father
interview my pastor. Her father did, and then interviewed me, after which I was permitted to talk to Mary.
After exhausting my cell-phone minutes in our first conversation (!!), I changed carriers so that we could talk to each other for hours each day, with me being in San Diego, California, and Mary in Langdon, North Dakota.
We met in person for the first time on 13 January 2006. I traveled to Langdon to stay with Mary's family for a week. We had a 7-hour conversation the second evening, and the following day I asked her father for permission to court her. The next two and a half months of courtship included meeting in San Diego and again in North Dakota, endless hours on the telephone, and the prayers of our families and friends. We grew to care deeply for each other, and to know that God had introduced us so that we could spend the rest of our lives together.
On my second trip to stay with her family, I told Mary for the first time that I loved her, and asked her to be my wife.
We were married on 8 July in Long Creek, Oregon, the town where Mary had grown up. Our families and close friends were there to celebrate with us.
After a honeymoon in the Canadian Rocky Mountains (near where I grew up) and a week in San Diego, we drove across the country to Georgia, where God had provided me with a new job. We have made a home here together.
As we look back over the last year, we are amazed at God's sovereign guidance in our lives. I am grateful each day for His gift of a love sweeter than I could have imagined.
Please discontinue my membership and delete my profile. Thank you, ChristianCafe.com, for playing such an essential role in bringing me and my new bride together. You may print this message or any portion thereof. Mary and I would be delighted to be on the Testimonials page.
In Christ,
Jason-pilgrim420 {California} & Mary-maidservantofchrist858) {North Dakota} September 2006
Jason and Mary Married in Oregon July 2006.
My husband, Jim and I just celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary, thanks to the Lord leading us to ChristianCafe.com. We started out as friends. I had three little boys, and I never dreamed that God would provide in the way He did, not only by blessing me with a husband but a father for my beautiful children.
My first husband left when I was pregnant with twin boys, I was left alone and heartbroken. I always thought we were 'cake' mix, that any decent man would want a family from scratch.
I was wrong, God lead me to a man who had never been married or had children. It just goes to show God can do more than we could possibly dream or imagine.
We were blessed with twin girls, in January 2004, and Jim adopted all three boys this past February.
Our family is complete. God heals the broken and restores lives for His glory!
Sincerely,
Amanda & Jim [No usernames given] September 2006
Jim and Amanda Married September 2002.
I just want people to know that this site is truly amazing. I met my fiance Dan after being on the site for a few months. I had met and dated a few people off here but I didn't seem to click with anyone.
Then one day I was checking out the "Who's On" and Dan was on. So we started chatting. At first I thought that he wouldn't respond, as I live in Ontario, Canada and he lived in New South Wales, Australia. The amazing thing was that we ended up chatting to each other and the rest is history.
We met for the first time on December 30, 2005 after talking for about six months. We both realized then that it was meant to be.
We have been through a lot in this last year and a half. But we have gotten through it. We are getting married the last week of December.
I want to thank you ChristianCafe.com, because without you I would have never met my soulmate, the one person that God put on this earth for me. And all I can say is that I am truly blessed.

Dan {New South Wales} and Dawn {Ontario} Getting Married December 2006.
Elisa meets Calvin! In April 2005 I was browsing ChristianCafe.com looking for someone I could talk to. I had just become a Christian and was looking for some friends that I had that in common with. While browsing the site I saw the handsomest man I've ever seen. He had auburn curly hair and a friendly smile. The best part was that we lived in the same town and we both had a passion for youth ministry.
I decided to send him a message to see if he'd respond. After a week he sent me a reply. We talked online for a few weeks, then we decided to meet.
We became friends and quickly started dating. In July 2006 Calvin proposed to me, and we will be getting married October 07, 2006.
Thank you ChristianCafe.com for making my wildest dreams come true.

Engaged! My fiance and I would like to thank ChristianCafe.com for allowing us the privilege of meeting via your service. What an amazing experience it was, has been, and continues to be for us. Our wedding is set for November 11th 2006.
We met in December of last year, but only really started chatting in April of this year. Jon and I are so happy and are blessed to have found everything we were looking for so many years (10+). We didn't have to settle at all. On paper at first and in person later, we knew we had finally found the "diamond in the rough" that we had both been looking for. What an amazing experience.
I know Jon wants to write and give more information. We will be forwarding a formal picture after our wedding.
Thank you ChristianCafe.com.

My fiance, Steven and I, Deaitra, met online at ChristianCafe.com. From the moment we talked through Cafe messages, then the phone, and met in person, we were a match made in heaven.
Two weeks ago we became engaged. We're planning to get married within a year.
To God be the Glory! Thanks ChristianCafe.com.
Take care & God bless! Sincerely,
Deaitra & Steven [No usernames given] September 2006
