Success Stories

Proud parents of 12

Lance and I met in the chatroom and spent the first few weeks talking as friends about those we were 'phone dating' from the site and how we both sort of felt out of the loop since we lived so far from the Utah/Idaho/California nucleus. Everyone seemed to know each other in person and then there was us. When we looked at the map and realized we were probably closer to one another than we were to anyone else on the site, we chatted about getting together sometime to do something - as friends. For the next 4 days we spent every moment online together with our webcams and headphones by the end of day 3 we both knew it was serious. Lance arrived 2 weeks later with an engagement ring and a proposal. We had both prayed and had an overwhelming knowledge that this relationship was meant to be. Admittedly, we really didn't know each other well enough to get engaged so soon, but we knew it was right then and have never regretted it. We married 2 weeks later in a private ceremony and have grown so deeply in love with one another that we can't imagine ever facing life without one another. We are now the proud parents of 12 (only in a Mormon family could that happen) and are happier than we have ever been in our lives.
Thank you, Mingle, for bringing us together.

A life changing experience

Just wanted to thank you for LDS Mingle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a life changing experience...for all eternity! After my divorce, I moved to the CA desert and wondered how in the world I would ever meet anyone!! (Living 3 hours from a Walmart). I absolutely loved being able to 'meet guys,' from the comfort of my own home, and when the kids were sleeping! I also met some wonderful friends and didn't feel so isolated in my new tiny town.

It was great to be able to select dates by 'criteria settings' and have a better change of getting what I was looking for! In January 2006, I found 'Rogreen' who was a 100% match! (And, he was very cute too!) I sent him a message asking him about the singles activities in his area. I also put him on my 'friends' list to be able to see when he was online.

'Rogreen' was fresh on the dating scene, but after a few months of emails and then calls, I finally asked him out. We lived 3 hours away from each other at the time. That first date was 18 hours long and only ended because it was 3am, I had a 3 hours drive home, and church at 8:30am! (I said I'd drive because I lived in the boonies, but he offered to).

Well, we both felt an instant, strong connection and since that first date we have only dated each other. First time my daughter met him she said "He's cute, nice and you should marry him!" (She was completely horrible to every guy previously).

Rogreen is a wonderful man with a strong testimony of the gospel, honest, moral, kind, sensitive, educated and intelligent, athletic, funny, adorable, treats me like a princess, and he's a hottie!! A deeper love grows for him daily!

When I told my brother I was going to marry him he said "I know, the spirit told me the first time you started dating him." We have held each other's hand through life's trials and grown closer over time. Although we talked about marriage rather quickly, we have let time pass to make sure we were doing the right thing (Since we have both been married before). I moved to his area and found a job, bought a beautiful home and life has been going very well!

May 13, 2007 was our one year anniversary since we fell in love! We spent that day doing proxy temple sealings which was a wonderul experience! We have been working on our Temple Sealing Cancelations for several months now and look forward to our temple marriage!

I thank the miracle of LDS Mingle bringing peace, joy and happiness to my life today and always!

"I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

CHORUS:
Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

CHORUS AGAIN"

Online for 3 weeks

Hawkster and I met in August 2006. I had been online for 3 weeks and he had been online 2 months. We were in two different states and quickly became friends. He would send me cute cards and little smiles. At one point we decided to meet so in December 2006 we met. We have been together ever since. He and I are planning on getting married as soon as possible and as soon as I can move to where he is.

**UPDATED July 25th, 2007**
I just wanted to give you an Update. Jacob and I are getting Married September 29th 2007.

His story:
‘I was standin’ at the end of my rainbow, with nowhere to go and no pot of gold in sight.’ These words from the country song ‘Not A Moment Too Soon’ described my feeling perfectly until I met Laura. Our story began when Laura and I first came in contact back in late July of 2006. She was the one to make the first contact by sending a smile. When I received her smile, my first reaction was ‘oh, how nice of her.’ As I always did, I sent her a smile in return and as they say ‘the rest is history.’ That was the start of the greatest dream to ever come true.

From the beginning, I always knew there was something very special about Laura. I had very little success in even going on dates up until that time in my life. You see, I am a quadriplegic and have been since I was hit by a car at the age of three. I had come to terms with the fact that I probably wouldn’t marry in this life, and it was very hard on me. I had, for all intents and purposes, given up on trying to find her. Because of this, I had come to learn to simply be a great friend to those I met, and not have expectations beyond that. At the time, Laura needed a good friend and I was trying to be that for her. After e-mailing back and forth several times, the interest in each other began to grow deeper. We soon started instant messaging on ldsmingle any time we saw each other online. I honestly could not wait to talk to her each time. It was in late September when I first told her that I loved her. I thought she might think I was some weird-o for saying that since we hadn’t yet met in person. I was wrong, however she at first thought it was more of a friendship love rather than a true love. A few weeks later she told me that she loved me as well. I had a hard time believing at first that anyone would want to love me. Could I be so lucky? Could Laura be an answer to my prayers? My circumstances are such that most people don’t want to deal with them. Laura’s love for and interest in me was so great that she did her ‘homework’ so to speak on my particular spinal cord injury, so she could understand me better. So, we had talked about meeting in February for the first time, however our love had grown so much that we couldn’t wait that long. I decided to fly her out to Arizona (as it is difficult for me to fly) on December 15th of that year. We were both extremely nervous (she even drove around the block once before coming to the house). The weekend turned out great. From then on, we haven’t been able to deny our love for each other, and it has been hard living so far apart.

We have had hard times along our journey, particularly with my family, but from that point in late September/early October, I knew I wanted to marry Laura. Actually, we both knew before this life, it just took us a while to remember. I am continually amazed by her strength, sincerity, compassion and love for me. She could have had any guy she wanted, and she chose me. I ask myself every day why I am so blessed to have her in my life. My Heavenly Father has truly blessed me, and I am eternally grateful that Laura is a part of me. I love her very much, and as we are sealed in the house of the Lord, it will be the continuation of our own fairy tale. We truly are, in the words of a certain country singer, ‘Livin’ Our Love Song’.

Thrilled

"onion" (aka Aaron) first e-mailed me last March and we met in person two months later. He lived in Gilbert, Arizona and I lived in Somerville, Massachusetts. We dated for about 10 months, going back and forth visiting each other and "meeting in the middle" on occasion. I'm thrilled to report that we got married two weeks ago in the Mesa, Arizona temple. Thank you very much for providing this forum for people to meet.

Best wishes,

Love hit us so fast.

I had just been out of a relationship for a month and I got back on mingle to get back in touch with all of my old friends from mingles chat. I wasn't looking for anything at all, and wanted to just be single for a while. About a week into being back on, I looked at a cubsof89's profile. I didn't like something he said on there, and I messaged him to tell him lol. Well I never got a chance to. Apparently he had been waiting and hoping that I would message him, and had me laughing from his first sentance to me. We talked for hours that night, and for the next few days we talked almost non stop. He was then bold enough to ask me to meet him just a week after we had started talking. He drove over three hours just to meet me and drove back the same night. From our first date we both knew that it was just ment to be. Love hit us so fast it was unbelievable. There have been so many things that have shown us that we are ment to be together. On March 1st he asked me to marry him. He made a slide show on dvd set to music. God Blessed the Broken Road. We are both divorced and have little boys. He has 3 and I have 2. They are all very close in age and call each other their best friends. We are looking forward to having an eternal family. The date is set for June 23rd. Thanks so much mingles!!!
