Long Distance



Shelly and Frank
Our relationship began long distance, grew that way, and would continue as I was set to finish culinary school in Italy for four months. Our love and commitment to one another was only strengthened during this time and I know our marriage will benefit.

  • Married: September 28th, 2008



Heather and James
I saw he was 3 hours away (I lived in Ashland, KY) and started not to respond but then I thought why not?... When I tell people our story I’m so enthusiastic about it. I tell everyone that is single they should join that it really does work!
  • From: Dayton, OH

  • Married: January 11th, 2008



Annette and Jack
I lived in Mississippi at the time where I was completing my nursing degree. He lived in Alabama... I moved to Northern Alabama and went to work locally as an RN. Jack and I continued to get to know each other and we both fell deeply in love. A love that grew from true compatibility.

  • Married: August 25th, 2005



Sean and Jami
We discussed what it takes to make a relationship work, morals, what’s important and of course family values. We thought it would a good idea to meet sometime soon... We both knew it may be difficult because I live in Seattle, quite the distance, but we would meet. We met in Atlanta in May. Immediately it was evident there was something there.

  • Engaged: September 13th, 2008



Dana and Kevin
Well I was absolutely smitten and I know he felt the same way. After the "date", he asked me out again and then we started flying back and forth to see each other... So here I am, a 100% Florida girl living in Birmingham AL with my best friend and loving every minute of it!
  • From: Birmingham, AL
  • |
  • Married: November 10th, 2007



Mandy and Jonathan
From February to August we commuted from Chicago to Alabama, until we both decided to move to Texas... I never thought that I would find Mr. Right on the internet, but I did! Thank you so much for everything that you have done for not only us, but more couples out there who are falling in love!
  • From: Waxahachie, TX
  • |
  • Engaged: September 19th, 2008



Amy and Kenneth
We have set the wedding date for January 17, the same day we met in person when he returned home. I will be moving to Oklahoma. Ken is truly a man of honor and the love of my life. We could never thank you enough and will always be a walking advertisement for your service.
  • From: Fletcher, OK
  • |
  • Engaged: May 23rd, 2008



Randy and Amy
This is a love story for our time; two lonely souls, despite thousands of miles and thousands of discouraging factors have found each other, with the assistance of eHarmony. No glass slippers, no poison apples or evil witches to keep them apart!
  • From: Derby, KS
  • |
  • Married: October 4th, 2008



Kathryn and Shawn
With me being at school and Shawn working on base 90 minutes away, we could only share our weekends. Every moment was precious... We planned our wedding together, something I feared we would never do, and shortly thereafter said our vows in Augusta, Michigan... He loves me. And there's nothing we wouldn't do for each other. I can't imagine a life without him.
  • From: Fayetteville, NC
  • |
  • Married: May 31st, 2008



Anita and Timothy
Because we lived three hours apart, every moment together was a special event... My four-legged kids (two dogs) and his three boys are one big family now! Couldn't have found a better match on more than 29 levels. Thank you eHarmony for your wonderful service!
  • From: Pahrump, NV
  • |
  • Married: March 25th, 2008



Tanis and David
We had lived less than 100 miles apart for 2 years... I had driven through the town David lived in at least a dozen times and we would have never met if it hadn't been for eHarmony.
  • From: Granite Shoals, TX
  • |
  • Married: June 9th, 2007



Ross and Jennifer
Our love for each other grows each day. I know that she is my perfect match, and I wouldn't have found her without eHarmony, since I lived in New Ulm, MN, and she lived in Des Moines, IA.
  • From: Mankato, MN
  • |
  • Married: October 27th, 2007



James and Chutharatana
We lived three hours apart, and one day out of the blue, she said I'm on the way down to meet you. I hurried home from work, showered and changed. I then went to the agreed location, and WOW, it was love at first sight. The rest is history!
  • From: Irving, TX
  • |
  • Married: August 22nd, 2008



Gregory and Truc
Truc and I met 3 years ago thanks to eHarmony! I was living in Baltimore, MD and she was in the middle of her residency in Charlottesville, VA... We are ETERNALLY grateful to eHarmony for introducing us. Without eHarmony, there is no way we would have met. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!
  • From: Rockville, MD
  • |
  • Married: May 24th, 2008



Kathleen and Max
It was at that first meeting that we realize we truly fell in love from the inside out. We had a wonderful fairy tale weekend. He lived in Southern CA about 300 miles away and I in Central CA. We commuted back and forth almost every other weekend for over 2 years. That's a lot of miles....We decided we wanted to get married, and he would relocate up here. So as they say the rest is history.
  • From: Clovis, CA
  • |
  • Married: November 10th, 2007



Stacey and David
Another cross continental success story!!! Stacey was living in WV and Dave in CA...Thanks eHarmony. Without you there is no way we would have met and we truly were meant to be together.
  • From: La Palma, CA
  • |
  • Married: July 4th, 2008



Wendy and Benjamin
After talking and falling in love over the phone we decided to meet. Ben flew from his home in California to my home in Idaho mid-October 2005... Our first meeting was funny. We kind of just stared at each other for a bit. Then it was like we had known each other forever.
  • From: Redwood City, CA
  • |
  • Married: September 27th, 2007



Bill and Debbie
After weeks of email, the first phone call lasted about 6 hours. By the end of the call I had booked a flight From Newark to Dallas for the following month... On the flight to DFW I had a dozen yellow roses and was flirted with beyond belief. But I had Debbie in every thought... When she first caught my eyes she ducked behind a pole, emerged in a second, hugged and fell in love.
  • From: Frisco, TX
  • |
  • Married: September 20th, 2008



Jude and Tracy
As I look back, it's truly amazing to see how our relationship grew into what it is today with the two of us living 1400 miles apart from each other. The first week of July 2008, I flew out to California to be in Tracy's best friend's wedding who also met her husband through eHarmony (now the third successful match in a close circle of friends).
  • From: Stillwater, OK
  • |
  • Engaged: July 2nd, 2008



Kerri and Thad
We lived 5 hours apart and saw each other about every other weekend. On August 18, 2007, Thad dropped to his knee and pulled out a ring. It was a proposal that I thought girls only dreamed about. Thad and I found a place right in the middle of our five hour space to plan a small wedding. The wedding was set for June 14, 2008 and after a short honeymoon in Florida, we now reside in the land of happily ever after!
  • From: Herrin, IL

  • Married: June 14th, 2008



Maria and Gary
How do you fall in love over the internet and despite thousands of miles in between? This is a question that neither Gary nor I have been able to answer. But it happens and it's not just a dream, it actually came true. I was in Bogota, Colombia and Gary in Pensacola, Florida... Our love is so strong we have been able to overcome the distance, difference in cultures and many hard moments. We're so in love with each other that there are no words in this world, enough to describe it. We're so thankful to eHarmony. Our match was just PERFECT! Muchas Gracias!
  • From: Pensacola, FL

  • Married: May 24th, 2008



David and Abby
Dave and I met through eHarmony the end of October 2006 and begin chatting via email and on the phone. He lives in London, Ontario and I live in Rochester Hills, Michigan. On November 4, 2006, we went on our first date. I had a feeling through the talking and emails back and forth between Dave and I, that this was someone that I can see myself with. The day after our first date, I told my parents that this is the man that I was going to marry...

  • Married: September 6th, 2008



Tina and George
George and I were matched on April 16, 2008. My communication preference was fast track and he wrote me the following day. He lives in Naperville, IL. I live a 4 ½ hour drive away in Richmond, IN. Just the day before, he had extended his distance preference. If he hadn’t, we may never have been matched.
  • From: Richmond, IN

  • Matched: April 16th, 2008



Stephen and Stephanie
Stephanie lived in Buena Vista, Virginia while I am 200+ miles away in Salisbury, North Carolina... It almost pains me to think I never would have met Stephanie if I hadn’t been willing to try out your service. We’d simply be content with our lives, instead of looking forward to every waking moment, without your intervention. We are both eternally grateful. I speak for the both of us when I say “Thank you eHarmony!!!”
  • From: Raleigh, NC

  • Married: May 31st, 2008



Tamara and Gerald
We met here and it changed our lives. We were really surprised and shocked at how compatible we were. Our marriage is Fantastic!!! Since both of use had previous marriages we were a little hesitant and pleasantly surprised at how well two people can connect long distance (Phoenix to Ft. Lauderdale) and stay so connected. Thank you for introducing me to the love of my life!!
  • From: Ft. Lauderdale, FL
  • |
  • Married: March 10th, 2007



Amy and James
James and I met through eHarmony. I initially wanted to end the match without any communication simply because of his location. I was living in Chicago and he was living in Nebraska. Something in his profile though made me inquire further. It's a huge understatement to say that I'm very glad I did.
  • From: Lincoln, NE
  • |
  • Married: February 2nd, 2008



Mark and Jennifer
After I decided to initiate communication, we began communicating back and forth and things took off like the space shuttle. Many emails and even more phone calls were sent back and forth between this woman and I and in late February of 2007 I decided to purchase a ticket to fly up and meet Jen. It wasn’t until April 12th of 2007 that I would be able to meet Jen for the first time…but it would be worth the wait!
  • From: Palm Bay, FL

  • Engaged: June 20th, 2008



Danny and Laura
We learned how to share our lives with each other, even from 300 miles apart... We experienced other achievements such as emergency volunteer efforts, conference presentations, published writings, family events, and more. The most magnificent advancement was the growth in our relationship. Our friendship enhanced both of our lives, accentuating the positives and tempering the negatives...We passed Tupperwares of goodies back and forth to whoever had traveled the longest distance. We continue to exchange such treasures and in April of 2007, I handed Laura one that contained a diamond ring.
  • From: Derby, KS

  • Married: July 21st, 2007



Christina and Christopher
I found everything I had ever dreamed of and more. I was worried that eHarmony would match me with someone who was too much like me. Truth is, we are similar in so many ways, but we have plenty of differences too. We are proof that couples can overcome distance and SEC football rivalries! Chris and I have truly been blessed, and we are so lucky to have found each other. We owe eHarmony so much!
  • From: Miami, FL

  • Married: November 22nd, 2008



Binh and Sarah
Neither of us had ever done internet dating before. I was a medical student in Washington, DC and she was a graduate student at the University of Maryland. She was a small town All-American girl from rural Michigan and I was a big city Vietnamese-American from southern California. But the similarities in morals, values, hobbies, and personalities we shared were amazing. eHarmony had done a great job in connecting us.
  • From: Harrisburg, PA

  • Married: May 5th, 2007



Sue and Mark
I immediately felt a little spark in my heart when I read Mark's profile but thought that he probably would not be interested in a gal thousands of miles away so I decided not to respond right away. I figured I would wait and see if he would contact me first. I just about flipped when I got a response from him! I was SO excited that every night I would hurry home to see if I had an email from him.
  • From: Durango, CO

  • Engaged: October 7th, 2007



Sherri and Randy
We met at the airport and walked straight into each other's arms, there was no apprehension or shyness, but rather almost relief, as if "we had come home to one another."
  • From: Boerne, TX
  • |
  • Married: August 17th, 2007



Melissa and Richard
When we met it was love at first sight. I knew then that he was going to be the man that I would spend the rest of my life with. We even survived a 12 hour car ride together!! Rick isn't just my lover and my husband but he is my best friend. I didn't even know that men like that existed!! Thank you so much eHarmony for finding the love of my life. If there is anyone that is skeptical about this dating site I would recommend to just do it!! It is so worth it.
  • From: Plymouth, NH

  • Married: September 16th, 2007



Paul and Pria
Here we are two people in love. We are two people with different food habits, different backgrounds but shared dreams and similar values. He is very sweet and caring. Of course, he says that I am a goofball. Paul is gradually learning to eat spicy food and I might someday agree to have a hot dog. We would have never met if it was not for eHarmony. Thank you for bringing two worlds together.
  • From: Sterling, VA

  • Married: October 7th, 2007



Jessica and Bryan
We had so much in common, even our careers. After going through the eHarmony process, Bryan was genuinely interested in getting to know me, which really stood out. Since we lived 5 hours away from each other, after 2 months of correspondence we decided to meet in the middle. After our first date, we would see each other about 2 times a month, gradually increasing that to every weekend, with the help of Southwest Airlines.
  • From: Hunt, TX
  • |
  • Married: June 24th, 2006



Tracy and Stuart
The next year was spent with me flying most weekends to visit him in DC, and each visit made me that much more sure that he was the one I had been looking for my whole life. He proposed on a moonlit night, on the rooftop of a building looking out over the White House and all of Washington while he played "our song" on the CD player he brought.
  • From: Arlington, VA
  • |
  • Married: June 10th, 2006



Lisa and Rusty
Now, at first, I wasn't sure about pursuing this because he lives in OK and I live in MD but something about him intrigued me. So, we started communication. He also is really handsome and funny! He makes me laugh. That is so important in a relationship. Neither of us thought we would find someone through this site. We thought we would meet new people...but never dreamed of meeting our true match. Rusty and I have now been married for one year!!!
  • From: Kremlin, OK

  • Married: July 29th, 2006



Rochelle and Patrick
My career as a pediatric emergency medicine physician unfortunately took me to Oklahoma City, OK after we had been dating about 1.5 years, and I had to move 500 miles away. I was devastated...I couldn't see how we could make such a long distance relationship work. I was convinced we couldn't survive, but Patrick never gave up on me or on us
  • From: Las Vegas, NV

  • Married: June 23rd, 2007



Jenni and Chris
We were from opposite sides of the United States, yet what we found in one another was so strong and so real that it lasted the long distance and everything else!
  • From: Mather, CA
  • |
  • Married: July 25th, 2006



Dina and Ed
We never would've met if not for eHarmony. We lived 2000 miles apart with no reason to travel. Since we lived so far away, we were forced to really spend quality time talking and writing about important, real issues that meant something to us.
  • From: Independence, MO
  • |
  • Married: September 22nd, 2006



Sue and Jack
Jack lived in Sarasota and I lived in Davenport, which is a little far but when I first saw his profile and his incredible blue eyes, I knew I would drive 200 miles to meet this man.
  • From: Davenport, FL
  • |
  • Married: December 10th, 2005



Jeff and Joelle
I was living in Cleveland, Ohio and Joelle was living in Tempe, Arizona. I will never forget seeing her in my new matches list. Joelle, Tempe Arizona. I almost closed the match without even reading her profile
  • From: Cleveland Heights, OH
  • |
  • Married: February 14th, 2006



Erica and Rob
We were only matched because I used my mom's address in metro Detroit, and I put my location in Japan in parentheses because I planned on returning to Michigan when my teaching contract finished. He had his range set to within 100 miles!
  • From: Findlay, OH
  • |
  • Married: February 4th, 2006



Joanne and Tim
At first I only picked a 300 mile radius around the Pittsburgh area and did not have much luck. Most men would say the distance is too great. Then in Jan 2005 I expanded my radius to the whole USA and decided then if I met someone I would move
  • From: Valley City, NC
  • |
  • Married: November 25th, 2005



Deborah and Darren
With the end of my subscription nearing I decided to open up the preference of where my matches could come from. I decided to allow matches from all of the US to be sent to me. I was really skeptical about how a long distance relationship would even work
  • From: Longmont, CO

  • Married: September 1st, 2006



Kimberly and Bob
Our first date was pretty interesting. Since Bob lives in Alaska and I live in Colorado, Bob flew from Alaska to Colorado for the first meeting
