Hello ChristianCafe.com! I just want to say Thank You for having this wonderful website. I was living in Florida when suddenly I met my wonderful husband, Paul, on your site. He lived in New Jersey.
We started talking by Cafe messages, then emails, then we started talking on the phone.
In less than a month I flew to New Jersey to meet Paul; it was so wonderful, we hit it off right away. I could never imagine or think what God had in store for me. We used to fly back and forth every month to see each other. Paul is beyond what I ever asked or prayed for, God is so faithful and cares so much about us. We are tremendously blessed and so happy that we found each other.
We got engaged in April 2006 and got married on September 9th, 2006 in Florida. Then of course I moved to New Jersey.
Thank you for opening the way for us. I always tell people about your website.
Attached is our wedding photo.
Mirtes-godlywoman196 {Florida} & Paul {New Jersey} May 2007
Paul and Mirtes Married September 2006.
My husband and I met on ChristianCafe.com in February 2005. We talked in ChristianCafe.com messages, then emails, and finally phone calls. We only lived about 2 1/2 hours from each other.
My husband has family who live close to me, so he came down one weekend in March 2005 and stayed with them. That's when we met in person. We've been together ever since.
We started officially dating on April Fools Day of 2005 and he proposed to me in June of that summer. Yes, we only officially dated 3 months!
We were engaged for over a year, and were married this past summer on July 15th. We are now approaching 9 months of marital bliss! We are completely happy!
The wedding was a dream and now I'm married to my best friend whom I met through your website!
Thanks!

Bethany Married July 2006.
Greetings, from one happily married couple in Montreal! After joining the Cafe several years ago, I met a few 'virtual' guys (you know, the type who don't seem to ever get around to agreeing to meet!).
In March 2002, just before Easter, I was about to delete my profile, and decided to have one last look, but this time, only for guys in Montreal (my city). carruthers545 was the only Montreal male listed as *NEW*, so I clicked. He sounded like a nice, well read and interesting man, so I wrote him a quick note, asked him to read my profile and write back if interested. He did!
We both love films, and he had seem my favorite film, 'Wings Of Desire' (German, B&W), so I was impressed. He tells me he felt the same way upon hearing that I liked a 'foreign' film.
We agreed to meet on March 28, which was Maundy Thursday. I skipped a church service to go on this blind date. My Pastor knew (I work in the church office), and he said it was OK (*wink*).
We met for a drink at a local pub. My husband doesn't actually drink, and I have but an occasional glass of wine, but it was 'neutral' ground. We met just outside, around 7:30 p.m., the snow lightly falling around us. During our 'drink', I remember thinking my face hurt from smiling so much. The one thing that we impressed each other with that very first night was that we both knew what 'Dialectic Progression' is, and we both thought it was an interesting theory that could never work without God!
The bar was smoky, so we went for a walk around the block and looked at old houses; we still like to do that. We actually ran into my Pastor and his wife (on their way home from the Maundy Thursday service I had skipped!) that very first night, and they liked my husband right away (as did I).
After a few months of dating, he took me to meet his Aunt (his mother's sister) who lives nearby and she checked me out for his Mum (who lives in another part of the country).
We got engaged just before Valentine's Day the next year and married that June 28. We even catered our own wedding, of just 50 close friends and family!
We are very happy collecting art and antiques, old books and movies, and getting to know Montreal. We enjoy having parties for our friends and trying out new gourmet recipes at said parties. We also love dreaming and planning which wonderful old house we will one day buy and fix up together!
It turned out we only lived about 20 blocks apart in this very large city, but we likely would never have connected without ChristianCafe.com, so we wanted to finally write and say a proper thank you.
ChristianCafe.com, thanks for being there for people of like mind and like faith to connect in this great big world!

Bernadette and Carruthers545 Married in Montreal June 2003.
Thank you ChristianCafe.com! I have met an amazing woman on your site. She is in Phoenix, Arizona, and I could never have met her any other way.
Thank you so much.

I never expected to actually meet someone through the Cafe. After all, I am 55! But God has used the Cafe to bring the most wonderful man into my life. He loves Jesus with all of his heart as do I. AND we live 1372 miles apart but those details can be worked out later. Our God is a BIG God!
For now, we are both removing our profiles so we can concentrate on the possibilities before us! IF this ends where we are both hoping it to, you will be the first to know!
Thank you Cafe!

I just want to let you know that I am leaving ChristianCafe.com because I am getting married. In December 2006, I found Bruce's profile, and sent him a wink. I liked his profile, and thought we would have a lot in common. I also liked the idea that he lived just across the Long Island Sound in Bridgeport, Connecticut which is easily reachable by ferry.
Bruce answered my wink with a Cafe message, and I immediately could tell that he had a sense of humor. We corresponded for two weeks, then spoke on the phone. That first conversation lasted two hours, and my sides hurt from laughing so hard. This was a man who really brought joy into my life!
We finally met in person on New Year's Day, and Bruce proposed two weeks later. We are getting married in August.
I am grateful to ChristianCafe.com for bringing us together. We were both praying to meet a Christian partner, and God used your channel to accomplish this task.
