Success Stories

A wonderful life together.

My fiance and I would like to share our story with you. We met on LDSMingle and are so excited to be getting married in March. We met in August of last year and hit it off immediately. We want to thank you for the wonderful site you provide and the opportunity you provided us to meet and start a wonderful life together. We've both had our own struggles to find the right person. Kimball has been a member of your site for years and I was only on a few weeks when I met him. My mother actually found your site and signed me up without telling me!!! She called and said, "I did something, and you're going to be really mad at me!" I was really apprehensive at first, but then I realized what wonderful people were available and what a medium it was to meet people. Many of the people I met may not have been right for me, but they all still touched my life in different ways that I'm grateful for. And what I'm most grateful for is meeting Kimball. Kimball has prayed and prayed to meet a woman that he can spend the rest of his life with, and for some reason the Lord chose to make him wait for the right time and the right person and I'm so incredibly thankful for that. So I'd like you to check out our wedding website with our pictures and info about ourselves. Perhaps you can share this story with others. I hear almost everyday of the success stories of couples meeting online. It's the dating wave of the future and I'm grateful for it! Thank you.

Inseparable

starmoonpm:

I never thought that an internet site would help me find my eternal companion. But here I am about to tell my success story.

I actually came about LDS Mingle when I was browsing for a topic I wanted to know more about. Apart of my search was LDS. Which lead me to LDS Mingle. I read some of the success stories and looked into it a bit before I made myself a free account.

It actually was a time in my life that I had dated the guys I wanted in High School and nobody else met up to my expectations. I wanted to meet some new people from different backgrounds.

Soon after I made the account I was getting smiles and e-mails. I talked to various guys via e-mail and yahoo messenger. I never gave out my phone number because I was still skeptical about the site because it was the internet. Sure enough I got an e-mail from a guy at first I wasn't sure about. We e-mailed back and forth for awhile. He seemed like he really wanted to meet me. So, I agreed to meet up with him at the Movie Theatre.

I took my friend, Jessica, with me. The car ride to the theatre to meet up with him I had a picture and told Jessica all about him. The picture I had printed out was one from his mission. He, of course, was wearing his missionary tag. Jessica read the missionary tag and said I know some people with that last name. I said to her, really? Jessica said, and they have a son that returned from his mission not to long ago. And again he fit into that category quite well. Jessica called her mother to ask what is the sons name that returned from his mission not to long ago. Jessica told me the exact name of the guy we were about to meet. I couldn't believe it. My best-friends mother knew the guy I was about to meet at the theatre.

We arrived and with my heart racing with excitement and nervousness all at the same time. I peeked around the corner to the spot I said to meet. It was him. My heart felt at peace and he looked cute to me, but I did not want to rush anything. Jessica and I walked up to him and I immediately gave him a hug. I don't know what made me give him a hug, but I did. We had already decided on what movie we were going to see via e-mail. We went in and he sat next to me.

During the movie he would every once in a while make a comment or try to talk. I know a movie wasn't the greatest idea to get to know someone, but in my family talking during a movie especially at the theatre is totally rude. I tried to be quiet, but I would listen to what he would have to say. And soon I caught myself asking him questions about his comments about the movie. That wasnt me at all. I was not sure if this was all a good thing.

After the movie he walked us to the edge of the curb where we each would go our separate ways to our cars. When we got to the edge I explained that I had to get home and I had to take my friend home too. He wanted to go somewhere to talk and spend more time together. It was late and we best get going. He then said, "Now that we have met can I have your number?" I gave him my number and invited him to come to my Choir Concert that was coming up on Tuesday in the evening at school.

I didn't think anything of it after I invited him to come to my choir concert. We exchanged an e-mail or two and then Tuesday came. I performed and at the end hanging out and talking to friends, there he was. He came! I exclaimed to myself. I was astonished that he came to a simple choir concert, for me. He became my hero that evening. I changed and we were off to hang out and chat. We hit it off great and talked most of the night. I got to meet a few of his friends. He got me home on time. Later that week on Thursday, he called asking if I would like to go out for some ice cream. He and a friend were over within minutes and we got to talk most of the night while enjoying some Dairy Queen.

A new Saturday came and where was Adam and Tamera, you guessed it, at the movie theatre!

We were inseparable and hung out as much as we could that entire month! And it never stopped there.

Met: Saturday, December 6th, 2003
Wed: Saturday, April 22nd, 2006

Now we are on the verge of celebrating our 1 year Anniversary!

Thanks LDS Mingle!

Wow. The Adam and Tamera story; where do I begin? How about at the beginning

I got home from my mission October 29th, 2003. I stayed with my folks for a few days and then loaded up the 95 Nissan pickup that my dad gave me to ease the starting my life from scratch pain and moved in with my brother, his pregnant wife and their 2 year old son. I got all settled into the room at the top of the stairs that would have been the office and would eventually be the room of their soon-to-be-born little girl. The first couple of weeks were pretty rough.

Anyway, I went to Big O Tires to get my oil changed or to get a new tire; I cant remember. It just so happened to be owned and operated by members of the LDS Church and they had all sort of LDS local news and events pamphlets lying out on their counter. While flipping through one of those pamphlets, I found out about LDSMingle.com and having just gotten home and having not kept in such good contact with my old friends I decided to try it out so as to meet new people. Realizing that I am a pretty intense hopeless romantic, keep in mind I was not trying to meet my wife online. I wasnt even looking for a girlfriend; just someone to hang out with.

Just like Tamera, I got several responses from some interesting people but no one that I did more than email or chat with. Tamera was the only person that I ever met both online and in person. She was pretty cute in her picture but based on experience Id found that pictures rarely do people justice. I pursued meeting her until she finally agreed and, since Im a movie fanatic, I figured why not a movie? Having watched a lot of TV while I was unemployed, I picked a movie that I figured would interest both of us and we set a date and time.

I remember meeting her. She was the first girl (besides old friends from before my mission) that I had any intimate contact with since Id been home. She came up to me and gave me a huge hug. She was pretty cute and obviously had A LOT of teenage energy which makes sense because, as she revealed to me only days early, she was 17 years old. We bought tickets and went into the theatre. Tamera and I sat together and her friend who she brought for moral support sat in front of us. The movie was actually pretty good. We quietly chatted back and forth through different parts of the movie. All in all, we had a lot of fun and I wanted to go somewhere and chat more, maybe even grab some food. She said she had to go, gave me her number and that was that.

We emailed every other day for the next week over so, I attended one of her choir concerts, yada yada yada, oh, sorry. This isn't Seinfeld.

Anyway, we had our first kiss on December 24th, 2003 at midnight and have been pretty much inseparable every since.

A blessing

I created a profile in June 2006 one Saturday night while I was sitting at home wishing I was out on a date. 3 days later I got a message from bfowers. I instantly felt drawn towards him and for some reason gave him my phone number after only 2 e-mails. He called me and we set up a time to meet the following week when we would both be done teaching for the summer. He drove down to meet me (2 1/2 hours away). Since then we have spent every possible weekend and vacation together. We are planning on getting married July 7th, 2007 in the Sacramento temple. He has been a blessing to both my 4 year old son and myself. Thank you!

The most amazing man

Wow I never thought I would be able to fill one of these success stories out! However, 3 years after I started my original profile here I am! I am getting married June 9th, 2007! I was just engaged in December of 2006. We just bought a house that I and my kids will live in until we get married! I (chrissymae2006) met Toddpick on mingle about a week after he created his profile. I sent him an IM and from there we chatted every night for about 5 hours or so a night. I lived in Seattle and he lived in SLC at the time. I came down to see him every other weekend at least, and then I was already in the process of moving to SLC. So in August I moved! The rest is history. We are both divorced and didn't think that we would get remarried, however we are so in love its crazy. Being a single mom it made it really hard to date. However he is the most wonderful, caring, compassionate father figure with my kids. We are so lucky! I never thought that I would fall in love and marry someone I met off of here... but I don't know what I would do if I didn't have him in my life! He is the most amazing man that Heavenly Father has ever created! Thank you LDS Mingle for helping me find the love of my life! I will be eternally grateful to your website! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

A path to find my true love.

It began one dark and lonely night...I was at the LaGuardia airport in New York on the tarmac, waiting for my flight back to Salt Lake by way of Cincinatti. I had been traveling on business for about a week and was very eager to return home. A very bad storm had come in, and we were in line with 27 other planes waiting for a chance to take off. Being divorced, I wasn’t much in the mood to hear the constant kissing and frolicking going on in the seat behind mine with a newlywed couple just returning from their honeymoon. I have never met two people excited to be stuck before, but they were stuck…in more ways than one. After three hours, we had spent enough fuel, requiring us to return to the gate, and cancel the flight. Being a seasoned traveler, I knew what this meant…little or no chance of returning home that night, and tomorrow might be as bad. Good thing I had been in this situation before. As everyone files off in a mad rush for the gate desks to be rebooked, I simply picked up my mobile phone and called the airline reservation center.

It only took a couple of minutes, but I got one of three final seats on the earliest flight out the next morning (although it was from JFK airport). It was already so late, and the new flight was so early the next morning, it made no sense to get a hotel, so I decided it would be a long night at the International terminal at JFK (the only terminal open 24x7). As I walk out of the jetway, I see the hopelessly romantic couple at the very end of the line waiting for reassignment. Obviously, they were distracted with other attentions (good thing they weren’t in the exit row) while the mad dash occurred.

I was about to head down to get my luggage when I had what can only be described as a “prompting”. I felt very strong that I should give my phone to the honeymoon couple before I hang up with the agent. Something told me that they needed the two remaining seats on the first flight the next morning. So I went up to the couple at the end of a very long line, and introduced myself and told them I had an agent standing by to give them two direct flights back the next morning. In a bit of a surprised look, they thanked me and took my phone, and within a couple of minutes, the three of us were confirmed on the last seats out the next morning.

Because we had to travel to another airport, the couple asked if I wanted to split a cab ride with them to get to JFK. I told them that would be fine (with the hope that less smooching would be taking place). So we all got our luggage and got a cab. During the 38 minute drive to JFK, we got to know each other better. We had all three been on missions and active in the church. We had all been previously married. They told me that they had met online through LDSMingle. I was going to try online dating soon, but had never heard of LDS Mingle. They said it was the best site out there and I definitely needed to try it.

When we got to JFK, we found a place to eat (being about 1:00am) where they further insisted I get online and meet someone. After our meal, I wished them well and decided to explore the International Terminal…at least that is what I told them. I went and found a nice quite corner and tried to sleep, but I couldn’t get this couple out of my mind, and what they had told me. So at 3:00am I abandoned the idea of sleep and turned on the laptop. With the use of my broadband wireless card, I got online and took a look at this www.ldsmingle.com website.

I decided to fill out a free profile to see what would happen. So I spent the rest of the early morning hours answering all of the questions and writing my profile.

After clicking the submit key, I jumped on my flight and returned to Salt Lake. A few weeks later, I found the woman of my dreams there on LDSMingle. She is my ideal match and everything I could have ever asked for in a companion. Just today we returned from our honeymoon after getting married the end of last week. I feel that a very architected series of events, that started with severe storms off the eastern seaboard, were put into place leading me down a path to find my true love. I couldn’t be happier.
