I was living in Las Vegas and was planning on moving to NC to live near family.
On a dare I created a profile stating I lived in NC in order to meet people before I left. Steve just thought he would give the site a try.
He emailed me, I emailed him again, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Thanks for offering the free trial to each of us - it is what allowed my husband to find me.
Attached is a picture from our wedding in a castle north of Venice, Italy, a few weeks ago. We both continue to be in awe how God used ChristianCafe.com to introduce us.

[Editor's note: See March 2021 for their update 13 years later!]
After 11 months of 'getting to know each other', we were engaged last October.
On April 26th we were married. For that reason, I would like for my profile to be removed.
Thank you for being a part of God's plan in bringing us together.
BTW, we are 60 and 64 and it's my first marriage. God is so good!

YES, we are a testimony that God uses many different ways to introduce people, but using a Christian website certainly worked for us.
I especially liked the essay questions in profiles. After reading Peter's profile, I thought "WOW - this guy sounds just like me!" We are both recruiters and very comfortable finding candidates on job boards so online dating made sense to us.
Our meeting was really a "God thing" because Peter was searching in Washington State since he wants to eventually retire there. He wasn't aware that I had only been in Washington for 6 months and was now back in California, 20 minutes from where he lived.
I hadn't had time to change my address, but God knew that we both had a love affair with Washington State and brought us together in His perfect timing.
We had each been married twice before and wanted to make sure we spent enough time getting to know each other and with our friends and family before getting married.
I started attending Peter's church in March 2007 and was able to meet some of the guys from his Bible study and witness first hand his commitment to grow spiritually.
We took several trips up to Washington and our relationship continued to grow. We were blessed to live so close to each other, seeing each other at least 3 times a week. We began serving together as career coaches to adults at a transitional living home.
We had a beautiful wedding in May 2008 and eventually plan on having a 2nd home in Washington. God has been so faithful to answer our prayers for a lifelong companion and we believe that "the third time is a charm".
Thank you for bringing such happiness into our lives!

We had our first date in May 2003 at the Tate Modern Art Gallery in London.
In March this year Simon took me back there under the guise of seeing an exhibition, and proposed. The wedding is set for December this year in Leicestershire.
