We are getting married September 8
It is with great joy that "seemerun" and I ("cephas101") announce we are getting married September 8, as it is the Birthday of Our Lady. Seemerun, who lives in Tucson, is a RN and will continue her work as a NICU nurse in Tulsa, after we are married. Although I am retired, we will also work together building a combination of a ranch and a farm near by. We will use the ranch in a apostolate for the Lord and Our Lady..
We wish everyone the best. We both want to say, hang in there because God has someone picked out special for you. Just be patient, pray and wait; then everything will fall into place in God's time.
Praise be God!
In Jesus and Mary,
seemerun and cephas101

The Mingle is the bomb!
The Mingle is the bomb! Charger and I met last August. Just a day after I had joined, he got an alert in his mailbox that I was a match. Initially, I discouraged him from continuing to correspond. I was 445 miles south in the L.A. area and he was up in Sacramento! How could I hope to have a meaningful relationship with someone at such a distance? I suggested we just swap e-mails as friends.
We e-mailed back and forth for a couple of weeks and the attraction just flourished and grew. It was so compelling. We had so, so much in common - certainly our faith and Catholic values - but also our appreciation for sharp, profound discussion tempered by compatibility and irreverent senses of humor. We shared a complex and magical chemistry from the beginning. It almost felt too good to be true. We were ultimately determined to see if the intellectual attraction and the real life, up-close-and-person reality could actually co-exist . . .
Finally, we agreed to meet in person. We each drove four hours and met in a little town in central California. We talked all night! No one would have imagined that we'd only just met in person for the very first time. From then on, we arranged to see one another every two weeks. Over time, even that wasn't often enough. We have kept Southwest airlines in business between the two of us and our frequent flyer miles.
Inevitably, our discussions turned more serious. We discussed the possibility of marriage on a few occasions. The big day came when Charger popped the question on the shore of the lake at South Lake Tahoe. The sun had just set in the twilight sky. The stars were just beginning to twinkle. We admired the snow-capped peaks surrounding us. Turning to sit on a bench in the sand, I took a seat as Charger surprised me by kneeling down on one knee and proposing marriage. I accepted, and we plan to be married July 8, 2006!
We are so humbled and awed by God's abundant blessings and love upon us and our children in bringing us together. Thank you so very much to Catholic Mingle for providing a wonderful, dynamic and faith-centered environment where like-minded individuals can meet, share and enjoy the kindness and love of others -- and perhaps even find the love of their lives. Wow!
**UPDATED 8/14/06**
The Mingle is fabulous! I met and married my beloved Charger from right here on the good ol' Mingle this July, 2006! I'm officially happy, hitched and having the time of my life! Best of luck to everyone. Catholic Mingle is wonderful!!!!!

We became engaged on Thanksgiving day
When I first "met" Kristin, she was dating someone. I said it would be nice to continue corresponding, but since she was dating, that was really not appropriate. About two months later, I checked my profile, and saw that she had "checked me out."
I know this is going to sound hoaky, but it is totally true. When I looked at her profile, a total sense of calm washed over me.
It was not long before we started spending long hours on the phone.
We became engaged on Thanksgiving day this year. Her surprise was that her parents were to be there.
When I gave her the ring, I said "I am the luckiest man on the face of earth".

Thank you for the introduction.
I came to your site after my divorce and I really didn't plan to meet anyone, but I thought it would take my mind off my hurt. After a couple of weeks, I had decided that this was not the thing for me so I went in to remove my profile and I had gotten a match. When I looked at his picture and read his profile I smiled at him. We talked for a month online, then we exchanged phone numbers. We talked by phone for a month and then we met in a small town in Kentucky. We rode bikes and had a wonderful time. We have seen each other every weekend since and we are planning to spend the rest of our lives together. It is so great to share our love for God and all of the things we have in common. Thank you for the introduction.

Over a year later, we are engaged.
We never would have met had it not been for the Mingle. He lived in Las Vegas and I am in Minneapolis. After talking in the chat room and through IM, we spent hours and hours on the phone. Next came the visits to Minneapolis and Las Vegas. Over a year later, we are engaged. He has moved his family to Minneapolis and we plan to be married in Oct 2006! Thanks, Catholic Mingle!
