ROMANTIC
JEN & STEVE
When people listen to their hearts, sometimes they just know that if they just had one date with a certain someone, they would be happy for the rest of their lives.
CLIFF & JACKIE
When you’re least expecting it, love has a way of finding you. And so it was with Jackie. Somehow “let’s do the summer of girls”, became the summer of Cliff.
COLIN & SHEILA
Colin and Sheila are proof that online dating works and sometimes there is an immediate connection--that one thing that makes you look at someone's profile. In this case, a common background has lead to a whirlwind romance.
NANCY & ANDREW
Sometimes the world stops when you meet “the one” and so it was with Nancy and Andrew. When connections are so real and clear that neither distance nor lingering fears could interfere, one is compelled to listen to their heart…… and then there was the closet design. Listen this week to hear more.
ERIK & ELLEN
Sometimes camp is not always about the children and their lasting friendships. Occasionally, it’s about the counselors forming relationships, which is what happened when Erik used his persuasion to secure a lifeguard position for a young woman who had recently visited her friend at the camp. Erik and Ellen continued to see one another and after three and a half years of dating and 17 years of marriage they have definitively shattered the myth that long distance relationships don’t work.
IAN & DONNA
“This is quite an obstacle course isn’t it?” Pick up line? Or was Ian talking about marriage?
NEIL & ROSEMARY
You never know what might happen in an airport restaurant. Sometimes when you least expect to meet someone, you end up finding love. After a cautious start, this couple from California and the United Kingdom were married two years to the day after they met. They are living proof that long distance relationships do work.⠀
DAVE & CAROL
This is a case of love at first bite. Carol invited Dave to her friend’s party when they were 19 and offered him some chips or crisps as they say in the UK and the rest is history. A formal proposal was not made as “it was inevitable” after 5 years of dating. However, Carol’s dad was asked and approved of the engagement.
SUSAN & JOSH
Sometimes a connection with another person is like an electrical current coursing through your body. It seemed that way for Susan and Josh who met in a bar and knew instantly that they needed to know each other further. Thanks to Susan’s bravery in handing Josh her business card on her way out, they have been together almost ever since. So take a chance ladies!
MARTHA & PHIL
Married 32 Years Martha’s and Phil ‘s relationship of over 44 years all started at the boys and girls Catholic schools and even endured a sticky situation. However, they didn’t want to be a high school sweetheart cliché so they went their separate ways; the universe had different plans. They continued to reconnect—appearing in each others’ lives and after five and a half years of dating, Martha agreed to marry him despite getting pots and pans for Christmas.
JONATHAN & KAREN
Jonathan and Karen, having crossed each others’ paths a few years earlier, finally met on a blind date. Karen knew very early on that Jonathan was the one and went so far as to ask both parents for a wedding guest list in anticipation of a proposal that didn’t come for several months. It was the worth wait and their similar backgrounds, interests, and commitment continues to strengthen the love that they share.
MOLLY & FINLAY
Molly and Finlay have been officially dating for a year and half after starting out as work colleagues. A brief break up helped them learn the importance of being yourself in a relationship and not just conforming to what you think the other persons wants. They are currently doing long distance for a couple months and have found the key to time apart is open communication, FaceTime and being true to themselves.
NADIA & DAMIAN
Newly married. Nadia, after a few drinks made out with Damian’s good friend. However, in the end turns out that was just the alcohol speaking. Her true love was Damian who she thought she would set up with her sister. Even when you love your sister, you can’t give her everything—Nadia decided to keep the best for herself and after a long distance romance and a few moves, they will be married this summer.
ED & DAR
It was with great hesitation that both Ed and Dar agreed to go with a friend on a weekend boat trip where they would be “forced” to meet each other. However, as fate would have it, they would find an instant connection and by the end of the weekend had decided they would marry. Sometimes, when you least expect it and you’re thinking the worst of a situation, things turn out to be exactly what you wanted.
