Our Story

Brad&nbsp;& Lauren&nbsp;"matched"&nbsp;online in April 2017. Up until that point, they were both feeling pretty unlucky online. Thankfully, Brad&nbsp;came across her profile and&nbsp;sent Lauren&nbsp;a message. At this point Lauren&nbsp;had not yet committed to paying for the matchmaking website, so when she saw she had a message from Brad&nbsp;she read his profile to decide whether or not this guy seemed worth the fee&nbsp;it would cost her to actually read his message. According to Lauren,&nbsp;while everything about the&nbsp;profile was appealing to her, what sold her was his sense of humor which peaked her interest. After checking his profile,&nbsp;Lauren decided to&nbsp;pay the&nbsp;$30 fee and messaged Brad&nbsp;back&hellip; Her first message to Brad was a simple hello. &nbsp;They e-mailed a few times and after a few IMs Brad&nbsp;asked for her number so they could talk on the phone. Their first two phone conversations lasted about three hours each!&nbsp; At the end of their second phone conversation, Brad&nbsp;asked Lauren&nbsp;out that weekend.&nbsp; The couple&nbsp;enjoyed a very nice Sunday evening together eating meatballs, drinking wine, and laughing&nbsp;at Emporio in Wexford, PA on May 7, 2017.&nbsp;Their first date lasted a few hours and they were the last guests to&nbsp;leave the restaurant. &nbsp;Needless to say they “clicked” and the rest is history...

A Great "Match"
