"Re: We're getting married!!!
In January 2003, I went to a 25dates.com event in Vancouver. It took a girlfriend of mine a good few months and a lot of nagging to convince me to do it but finally I decided to take a chance and try something new. Little did I know that on the other side of Vancouver, a guy named Dan saw a 25dates.com ad and decided to step out of the box and attend the same event.
3 minutes doesn't seem like a very long date. But it was long enough for Dan and I to connect and decide we wanted the chance to get to know each other better.
The rest is history and I believe it was meant to be. We fell in love and I'm so lucky to have found such a wonderful, sweet and romantic man to share my life with. On July 30, we got engaged and are planning a wedding next year.
To those involved in 25dates.com - we can't thank you enough. And to all you singles out there who are wondering where to meet someone - our advice is to give speeddating a try. You might just meet the love of your life!"

"I attended an event in May 2003 and became engaged last Friday to my match! All I can say is a big THANK YOU for organizing that event as it has changed my life for the better! Friends and family know that we met through 25dates.com, and we've encouraged lots of people to try it as well. I can't say enough good about it - as well as my fiancee, I met a few nice girls that I've kept in touch with. Even if you don't walk out with a future husband, it seems to be a good group of people attending, so some good friendships can come of it."

"In today's world abundant with lousy customer service you and your staff should be commended on your superior customer service. I have only been to one of your events where I also found the service there to be exemplary."

"I went to one of your events, once, last Aug. There I met Julie, the love of my life. We've been inseparable ever since. Thanks, 25dates.com, you have made us one happy couple!"

"If you knew what a fabulous experience I had, you'd understand that I HAD to write you to express my appreciation. Thanks again and keep up the good work! Honestly, I never would have expected to meet so many outgoing people in such a short period of time! I made so many new friends and possible romantic interests. Can't beat that!"
Adam - Toronto
"Thanks for the great event last night, it was really well organized. All of you guys were extremely helpful and empathetic. I was a little stressed before and didn't think I'd be able to drag myself down there to RD's Ribs, but it was excellent and I was pleased at the turnout. I've already told a bunch of my friends about it. I was very pleasantly surprised, and am looking forward to see who picked me :)"

You guys did a great job! Thanks."
