Alexandra was one of my first matches. She was the first person to begin communication with me. She was also the reason I paid my subscription fee (since signing up is free). From the moment I saw her picture I thought she was beautiful and was definitely a person I was interested in meeting. As we went through the guided communication process, it just seemed like we had so much in common. I loved her answers to my questions and she loved mine. We emailed back and forth for about 2 weeks and finally decided to meet. We went on a coffee date and when I saw her in person, she was as beautiful as her picture.

We had instant chemistry. Our first phone conversation lasted for 4 hours - I haven't spent that much time on the phone since high school! Meeting Alex was like finding a best friend I didn't know I had. We just feel like we've known each other forever. Last March, Alex had a breast cancer scare - it turned out to be nothing, but that had to one of the worst times in my life. Aside from that, our relationship has been a dream. I feel like I won the lottery every day. We were engaged unofficially June 1st,2009 (promise ring) and officially July 16th, 2009 (engagement ring). Thank you eHarmony for bringing Alex into my life - she is an absolute treasure.
