Michele and Jeff were both adjusting to life after previous marriages and hadn’t dated in a while. Deciding it was time to give it another shot, they each turned to Match.com. Michele was cautiously optimistic, while Jeff’s daughters encouraged him to give online dating a try.

They connected on Match.com and found that they got along right from the start. Their conversations were easy, and spending time together felt natural. As their relationship developed, it became clear they were a great match—not just for each other, but for their families too.

Their children got along well, which made blending their families feel smooth and effortless. It wasn’t long before Michele and Jeff knew they had found something worth building on.

After a little more than a year together, Jeff proposed on the beach in Laguna. With their four daughters, Jeff’s son-in-law, and his grandson there to share the moment, Michele said yes, and they began planning their future together.
