Eileen and Matthew
Ft. Lauderdale, FL
Married May 13th, 2006
I would never have decided to join eHarmony if it weren't for my Mom having a successful match with eHarmony. I saw how happy Mom was and figured I would try it out. Just like me, she is now married to her match (Susan and Larry).
April 20, 2005, Matthew popped up on my match screen and I decided to answer his questions. Within 2 days we were in open communication. There was an instant connection! I was so intrigued by his goals, priorities, and not to mention his good looks! About a month after we were matched, Matthew came from Arizona to visit me in Florida. He took a red-eye flight Friday after work Memorial Day weekend and landed in Florida on Saturday morning. As I was waiting for him to get off the plane I thought, “Here goes nothing.” I knew if we had as much chemistry in person as on the computer and phone I knew that this would go somewhere. We walked toward baggage claim and I looked up at the televisions and just happened to notice an eHarmony commercial staring me in the face! I should have known then that it was meant to be! A few months later I flew to Los Angeles to meet his family.
Matthew completely surprised me in August 2005 and proposed to me during a wonderful, romantic dinner. In January 2006, Matthew moved to Florida from Arizona after being able to get a job transfer. April 20, 2006, exactly a year to the day of our match on eHarmony, we were at the courthouse applying for our marriage license. We were married May 13, 2006, in the Fort Lauderdale intra-coastal on a yacht with 100 guests. Our honeymoon was an absolute dream; two weeks in Australia. Matthew and I are so happy to have found each other, and excited about our future! We have been married for just over a year and have eHarmony.com to thank!
