Amy & Blaine Feb 15, 2011
I had joined because a friend told me I had nothing to lose. After losing a fiance' to a car accident a few years before, she said enough was enough. She helped to create my account. I was in Atlanta,Ga. Little did I know that several hours away in Ontario,Canada was a man who was being told the same thing "You have nothing to lose !" as his friend persuaded him and helped to make him an account. I had no interest in a long distance relationship. I ignored him for a month before finally replying. After 4 months online, he drove to Nashville to meet me in person for Valentine's Day weekend 2010. The rest is history. I knew that our progressing relationship would mean I would be moving closer. Sure enough, in September of 2010, a job in Boston fell in my lap. God had blessed him with a new home that was completed in November. And it was in that home,he proposed to me in front of 40 of our closest Canadian friends and family while I visited for the holidays.
When I moved to Boston, I entered fellowship with a house church in Rhode Island---made up of a few people I had known for a few years. One of those people was a 19 year old,beautiful single mom--- a pregnancy that was a result of a rape. She had recently became a believer and had started walking with Christ. She had questioned if anyone would ever accept her and her baby.I suggested the site to her and reluctantly she allowed me to assist her with an account.
Little did we know, that just an hour away was a single dad who wasn't too sure about online dating but thought "Hey...what do I have to lose ?". They met in October and it was a divine meeting. After 4 months of an amazing connection, he proposed to her on Valentine's night !
We are all excited to be sharing this joy of how God does amazing things and sometimes in pretty unusual ways :)
I will be moving to Canada in September with a wedding date of October 8th.
My friend will be getting married July 3rd.
Thanks for this service !
Amy & Blaine, Liz & Michael
