In February 2006, I joined the site and spent a few weeks sending messages to interesting people, meeting some great people along the way but none were quite right for me to fall for. That was until She walked into the restuarant one evening. I was instantly attracted to her, a petite, stunning woman but also possessing a razor-sharp mind to match her good looks.

Not surprisingly, by the end of the night I was truely smitten. Only a few months later we had moved in together and in September last year I spent all night on the pavement outside a jeweller to be able to afford the right ring for her.

I proposed the next night, feeling heavily sleep-deprived (and smelling a little pungent as I had to go straight to work from the jewellers!) and had also blown my every cent on candles and roses - she joyously accepted and we are getting married next year.

My deepest thanks to FindSomeone, by far the best matchmaking service I've ever found.
