Sweet sweet Rose
Querida and have been together for two years now and been engaged for a year past September. I love her so very much with all my heart. It has been an awesome experience, I have visa interview April 2 and we have set a temple date for June 8 at the Detroit temple. I look forward to the day when I can be sealed for time and all eternity to my sweet rose. We have had obstacles on the way, but through our faith in each other and in the gospel Jesus Christ, we have been overcoming them. Robin is a very special lass, one I feel honoured and humbled and blessed to call sweetheart, eternal mate to be. This does work only if you let your heart follow the promptings of the holty ghost. Never be afraid to follow the councel of the priesthood. Robin has inspired to use my priesthood many times, I feel thankfull for the things she teaches me daily. In fact a year ago past Christmas Robin saved my life and I will be forever debted to my sweet sweet rose. I love you baby. So this is a success story that no matter where you are it can be overcome if you do what is right and let the consequence follow. god speed highlandlad36 and querida
Her story:
Ok now that you have read Highlandlad36's version of our love affair, I will update with mine. It has been a long two years with 5000 miles between us. We have had many challenges but the strength and blessings that have come are thousand fold in comparison. With just 77 days until we enter the Temple to be sealed, John and I feel deeply indebted to Mingle for the great service this provides for those of us who don't live in highly populated LDS communities. The front of our wedding invitation is a Castle with the saying that Dreams do come true. Well John and I are a testimonial that dreams do come true and prayers are answered. I'm very thankful that John and I have had the past two years to get to know one another and know with certainty that we are right for each other. WIth prayer at the top of our list, we have made sure that we keep our covenants sacred and look forward to building an eternity together. If John gets his way, we'll be starting a family before years end. Good luck to all of those that are earnestly seeking their eternal companion. Keep them in your prayers. Be patient and in tune to the Spirit. Remember the Lord has the right person for you. Trust in Him. Council with Him. Be the companion you wish to have. Be open to who the Lord has in mind for you and your dreams will come true as well. Best wishes. John and Robin

Fell in love
My story is kind of interesting. I decided to finally try an online dating service. I found ldsmingle, and thought, "Why not. They're all LDS, right?" I was always good about trying to talk to my "matches" on the website.
The girl who is now my wife (her profile is dawnavin2), registered just so she could check out the profile of a friend. Dawn was one of my recent matches, and her profile interested me, so I sent her a smile. She replied, with the one asking if we could email. I thought, "sure. What can it hurt." We would also instant message each other. She wasn't even planning on meeting me, and I didn't push it. Both of us had been in bad relationships.
On December 10th, 2006, she asked what I was doing. I thought she wanted to meet, and asked if she had wanted to. She later told me she was just making conversation, but said sure. There was a Messiah concert at BYU-Idaho that night, and we went to that together! It was actually a lot of fun, and we went on a long walk in the snow afterwards.
She liked me right from the start, but it took a lot of convincing on my part before I fell in love with her. We dated a little all month, but nothing serious. Just before Christmas, she went home, to California. A week went by with us talking a little. She missed me, and told me in an email that she liked me a whole lot. I usually hate talking through emails, but decided I needed to tell her how I felt. The concern I had was taken care of the next night, when she called me. We talked every night on the phone for the next week and a half, until she got back to Rexburg.
Our first kiss was January 10th. I proposed February 9th. We were planning on getting married May 12th, but God had different plans for us. Some things came up, and we were married last Saturday, March 10th - exactly 3 months after we first met.
***Updated 7/10/08***
We met on LDSMingle in October 2006. We officially met at a concert, December 10th of that year. Things weren't really progressing until she went home for Christmas (she was attending BYU-Idaho in Rexburg, Idaho, which is where I am from). We started talking every day, for a couple of hours, and couldn't wait for her to come back from California. We got engaged February 9, 2007. We ended up getting married on March 10, 2007. On short notice, her parents and a sister and brother were able to come from California! I can't say things have been easy, but we do love each other and work things out.
December 1, 2007, we moved to Salt Lake City, UT, to be closer to her older brother who lives here. Again, it hasn't been easy, but we talk and work things out! We recently received a great gift, which we knew was coming. On June 22, 2008, we had a baby boy. Garret David Nickell was born at 5:21pm. He weighed 7lbs 13oz and was 21 in long! He is adorable and is the light of our life!

Warm tender feelings
On line our screen names are "niftfox" and "sweetsunlight". We are both excited to be getting married in April of this year. A year ago I (niftfox) attempted to communicate with Nancy.... (sweetsunlight) but she would have nothing to do with me as she was already interested in someone else. Finally in May of 2006 she began to communicate with me as things had not worked out with the other fellow. Since I love to practice my Spanish with the "senoritas", and she being from Monterrey Mexico, we began to have some very fun and interesting conversations. She seemed to be primarily interested in the same things as myself. Mostly spiritual things were what we talked about. We connected very deeply spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally. We began to love each other as much as two people could online, but alas the distance was so great that we both abandoned the idea.
We went our seperate ways for a time. She became serious with a gentleman in Austin Texas, and I became engaged to a local sister. Niether of those relationships worked out, and we again found each other on line through mingles.
After about a month and a half of renewing our relationship and once again remembering the warm and tender feelings we had for each other previously, she decided to come and see me here in Las Vegas. She came the week of the singles conference. We spent time together. I offered to show her the lights of Las Vegas, she said: "I came a long way to find out if you are the man that I want for all eternity, I did not come to see the lights of Las Vegas." I knew and felt that it was then serious. We attended the temple together. We visited about sacred things there and felt the spirit confirm to us that we had something special. The following day I proposed to her and she accepted as I placed the the gold, diamond studded ring on her finger. She wept, and her eyes danced as she hugged me tightly and asked: "Eres tu?" (Art thou him?) I said, "I certainly hope so".
***Updated 7/6/08***
I am pleased to tell you that we (Niftfox and Sweetsunlight) have been blissfully married since April 6, 2007 in the Las Vegas Temple. It has been a great transition for both of us and we have met the challenges of a second marriage with the counsel of our leaders, to include daily scripture study and prayer, coupled with frequent temple attendance,(weekly at least).
Many ask us how we met and we are always happy to tell them that we met here on LDS Mingle.
We purchased a home in Las Vegas and attend a Spanish speaking ward where my wife works in the nursery and I have been called into the bishopric. We are not able to be ordinance workers anymore due to our calling in the bishopric, but we still volunteer weekly at the Las Vegas temple.
It is our desire to serve a full time mission at some point in the future. We are grateful for the technology that made it possible for us to find each other. We were able to share ourselves with each other intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally prior to our actual meeting. We finally did meet in mid February of 2007 and fell hopelessly in love with each other. We sealed that love for time and all eternity in the Las Vegas temple on April 6th.
We wish success to all those who are seeking that special someone. We would counsel to make that decision prayerfully and wait on the Lord.

I sent a silly message
April of 2005 I (Charssmile) send a silly message to Justjason about a picture that he had, a Burger King crown with Sponge Bob and Patrick on it and that's how it all started. May 2005 he moved to Salt Lake City from Jacksonville Florida. We talked on and off but nothing serious then I asked him to spend Christmas with my family in Provo at My sisters house. Well those five days that we spent together changed our lives forever. We fell in love and with in a month and a half we where engaged and September 23, 2006 we where married in the Redlands Temple and I have never been so happy in my life. We have been married for 5 months and we are doing great. You never know what might happen by sending someone a little note.
With love,
Charssmile
