Had been a member of this site (and several others) for better than a year. Had been out with a few women from these types of sites, but nothing had worked out for a long term relationship. Then, one Friday night (July 7th 2006 to be exact), I was smiled at by someone whose profile described her as an petite and spunky go-getter. We exchanged smiles a couple of times, but to send her a message, I had to re-up my subscription. I took the gamble and renewed my subscription so that I could send her messages. We ended up talking for several hours that night, the next night and Sunday night. Monday, July 10th 2006, around 3:30 in the afternoon, a coworker came out to me in the shop with a rose and a card. "There is a Pixie waiting to meet you!" the card read, and I immediately knew she was waiting up front for me. She had never posted a picture on her profile, so, there were times if it wasn"t to good to be true, and I really had no idea what she looked like. When I went up front, I was very pleasantly surprised ! My first words to her were "What are you doing here?". She had already told me that she was a list-maker, and she said that I was on her list ! She wanted to level the playing field as it was. That was the beginning of 3+ years of growing for both of us (but mostly me...). I am very pleased to say that 3-4 months ago, as we sat on the front porch, she said to me "Oh, by the way, yes I will" I said "Ok, by the yes you will what?". She said "I will marry you" "I know, eventually.." "No, in the next 2 months" That was the start of a VERY busy time for both of us, and it paid off well in the end. We were married in a very small ceremony on August 14th 2009 ! Thank you for helping us find each other !

In 2004 I met my soul mate and all it took was a click and then we talked online for a few days then called each other a few times then he moved were I was and we dated for a while. Then in 2005 we got married and we are going on five years. It has been great. I did not think that it would work but here I am today with the love of my life that I met on cupid it works and I am so glad that I did it. He is my soul mate.

We met on your speed dating event last July 2006. We felt we have a connection the moment we started conversing. We have a lot of things in common. We were both single and have no children. Our relationship blossomed and flourished through trials and success. With the support of our family and friends, we got married last June 2009. We truly appreciate Cupid.com"s effective and delightful way of bringing us together. Thank you!

Vince & Dodi met at a Cupid speed dating event on April 15, 2008. The event was held in Greenville, SC, at the Blu Martini. Although the turnout was low due to it being tax day, we clicked right away. It only took us 6 minutes to know we were extremely compatible. We went on our first date shortly after, and were recently married almost one year later, on April 11, 2009. We are both in our 30s and had never been married. What a wondeful, life-changing experience that we had been longing for our entire lives. Thanks so much for hosting such a wonderful event.

I found Jenny through Cupid via a local radio spot (directing me to eugene.cupid.com). I spoke with her a few times online, then a few times on the phone, then for literally HOURS on the phone (and I hate phones). That was 2 years and 3 months ago. We were married on Saturday (July 25). Cupid works!

Jim and I started talking on cupid last September. Jim came to my job to meet the first time Sept. 11 2008. We talked the first 24 hours about 5 hours total. I loved to hear him talk and I still do. We got married June 6 2009 a small wedding and are going to have a big wedding Sept. 11 2010. Without cupid we would not of meet. We only lived 5 minutes apart but never new each other. Thank you Cupid. I tell everyone this is a great place to meet someone special. I am so happy. Thanks again cupid.com

We have often thought we should thank Cupid.com for bringing us together. Although I was in Arizona and he was in Wisconsin, browsing the "new photos" provided the introduction we needed in January, 2006. After chatting online for weeks, he asked for my phone number. Our first long-distance "chat" lasted 4HRS. We knew we had an intense connection, finally meeting each other in Wisconsin in March 2006. Long story short -- I moved to Wisconsin after selling everything I didn"t need (like the house). He flew to Arizona to drive up with me. We are inseparable, and married September 1, 2007. We are the real "happily ever after" couple, and we"ve told our story about Cupid.com to many others. Bob and Denise

Many, many thanks to Cupid.com for bringing us together. We live in a retirement community named "The Villages" in central Florida. Although single, we both had prior marriages before moving here and we were both looking for someone to share the wonderful lifestyle we enjoy here. We became aware of a "Speed Dating" event scheduled here in mid July, 2006. On a lark we independently arrived with no pre-registration, and Cupid fit us in. That six minute "speed date" changed our lives! We will be forever grateful! As it turned out, we were a "perfect match", having very similar outlooks on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness! Two years later we were married in a wonderful bare-foot beachside ceremony in Barbados. We are living happily ever after!! Thanks, Cupid.com

Dear Cupid.Com, My husband Gary & I have just returned from our 1 yr wedding anniversary and I just wanted to send a little "thanks" your way! We both met on your web-site & well three years later...here we are Mr. & Mrs! I just read some of the other "real love stories" found on cupid.com and I guess you could say we are in good company! However being a little bias...I"d have to say our story rates @ the top! For we are your modern day brady bunch and getting here has had it"s challenges! My husband is retired military fomr the USAF - 20 yrs proudly served and when we met on cupid he was going through a divorce. I was also divorced and had been on cupid for about 6 months when he finally winked back ( the second time)...we met @ our local mall after talking online and the rest has been history in the making ever since! We are a "6 pack" total; complete with his;mine & ours! Together we have 4 teenagers..yes your heard me right...I said 4...currently they are 14,16,18 & 20...but don"t forget that I said this love story is 3 years in the making...soo needless to say when we met on cupid.com we had teenage hormone overload!! LOL I remember for each Gary & I ...cupid.com was our comic relief @ the end of every day! We would get online to see what messages the other had sent & the flirt, fun & laughter began! Even better was the friendship that was founded right here @ cupid.com! Somehow we managed to take a life altering event such as divorce; that had turned our whole world upside down and find love and happily ever after again!! So from our modern day blended "brandy bunch" or aka: " our six pack" we just wanted to send a bid shout out to ya..."thanks cupid.com!" Sincerely- Valerie Rose (Sawyer)

Just wanted to update you.. I met my husband on this site on Feb 9th of 2006.. That was the day I signed up for Cupid.. He sent me a little hello.. Mind you I was in Arizona, he was in Omaha. We talked everyday for a little over two months. He flew to Arizona to meet me end of April. That was the best weekend of my life. We made an instant connection. So wanting to keep it going, I started flying back and forth to Omaha. In 2007 I quit my job, sold my house and moved to Omaha.. We just got married January 9th of this year. I tell everyone about Cupid.. I love to tell how we met.. And can"t believe it REALLY does work! Thanks Cupid

In 2006, while trying Cupid, I met a gentleman who was a member. We corresponded (I lived in AZ at the time), finally met when I moved to Oscoda, Michigan (he lived in Alpena, Michigan) and had first date in November 2006. On March 18, 2007, he proposed and I accepted. We were married on July 21, 2007. Ours is a very strong, working relationship that was tested 2 months before our marriage with the death of his only child 2 weeks after he graduated college. In August 2007 he convinced me to enroll in college and I graduated with Honors May 7, 2009. He tells me that he"s so glad he put his profile on Cupid, he can"t believe he found me there. Your website is truly appropriately named "Cupid" for t"was Cupid"s arrow that smote us both. Ray and Terri Married July 21, 2009.

Just wanted to send you yet another success story, but this time from a small town in Southeast Missouri...Cape Girardeau. Rick and I met via Cupid.com in October 2007, by November 2007 we decided to become exclusive, by April 2008 we had moved in together. The best news is that in May 2009 Rick proposed and we are to be married in October 2009. I wanted to share our success story because, in all honesty, it"s almost unbelievable. I thought I"d sign up for your site, meet a few nice people, but inevitably not find anyone of substance, instead, I have found my future husband. Rick and I thank you for the service you provide. Please feel free to share our story with other users because I too was once skeptical. I"ve attached a recent photo of us playing miniature golf while visiting Rick"s family in Minnesota. Thank you!

Dear Cupid.com, I am 22 years old and I just recently married my husband on May 23rd. After a lot of crummy relationships I decided to not date for a while a concentrate on myself and my daughter. After a few months passed and sept. rolled around I decided to ease my way in by online dating. Well after a month on Cupid, John emailed me. A month went by and I had not logged in, but when I did and I saw that he had written me, I wrote back immediately. After that we talked on the phone every day and that same weekend decided to meet in Toledo. John drove out from Ft. Wayne and after that one Sunday together we spent every weekend together since. In January we got engaged, and now we are married. I just want to say thank you so much for everything. I know a website didn"t make us meet, but it gave us the chance that we wouldn"t have had seeing as he"s from Fort Wayne, and I"m from Toledo. John is now in the process of moving here with his job, and we recently bought a house and will be moving in next month. :) Thank you.

I just want to thank you for helping me find my soul mate. I was just about to give up after 6 months of trying until August of 08 we made eye contact. Than days later started e-mailing, than finally he asked me now what? I replied well we can e-mail each other for another 6 months or you can ask for my phone number and we can take it from there. The conversations were great we had so much in common, and after 3 months of dating he asked me to move in. Me and my 3 children moved in with him and his 2 boys and it has been wonderful ever since, we are now planning a Sept 09 wedding. So thank you Cupid for helping me find that special person, and to find love again.

I just wanted to let you know that I met the lady I plan on marrying on this website. I had been divorced for more than 20 years and really was not sure I would ever meet the right lady. I was a member and thought I would try to chat with a lady I saw on here. We exchanged emails, phone calls and went fishing for our first date. Well that was 2 years ago this month. Our wedding date is set for September 13 of this year. I just wanted to thank you for your website and encourage others to not give up.

-Springfield, MO

Today is Bob and my "second year" anniversary meeting on cupid.com. We have been together every day since our first date on 5/6/07. It was especially hard at our age to meet nice men/woman. I think we were both a little hesitant at first to try on line but now we are both glad we did. Thank you so much Cupid for giving us this new, wonderful, loving life. Helen & Bob (missy1953 & Tragus)
