Hi everyone,

Every week a new Success Story (or an update of a previous Success Story) gets sent to the entire company here at eHarmony. I love these emails as they help remind us all why we work so hard here.

I really wanted to share this week's story with you because I've seen so many people posting on these boards wondering if they should stay or go on eHarmony and whenever I read these posts I always think the same thing..."Noooo....don't quit five minutes before a miracle!!!!"

This story perfectly articulates that idea.

One of our Success Stories, Tory and Rick, recently emailed us to let us know that they welcomed a baby girl in April. Rick and Tory almost missed each other on eHarmony. Tory signed up for eHarmony the same day Rick logged in to cancel his account. If Rick had not clicked on one last match, they would not have met. Read their success story....

Tory & Rick
Married: May 10, 2007
Del Mar, CA

I'm writing to tell you our crazy story: I'm 38, he's 48...both never married, no kids. I signed up on a depressing Friday night in San Diego, CA. He logged on that Friday with the intent to cancel his membership but !...caught a word ("sailing") in my profile. He looked further only to find we are just 3 freeway exits apart! We went back and forth that Friday night very quickly. Met 4 days later. Married 6 months later. In fact - he proposed at 12 noon and we were married by 7pm that night! On the bluffs of Del Mar, CA at sunset overlooking the Pacific. We left the next day for the British Virgin Islands. We've been married almost 7 months. He's AMAZING. We have a blast together- golf, sailing, tennis, walks on the beach... We live in Paradise- Del Mar, CA and our marriage is HEAVEN. It's sickening really. But we're real people with a real life incredible story. Some pictures are attached. Thank you eHarmony!
-Victoria (and Richard)

P.S. In your next campaign, I'd advise those who are thinking of cancelling their membership...to think very carefully about their next step. Had my husband cancelled on that depressing Friday night, we would have never met- and I was just his next 'click' away. It only takes one. And it could be the very next one! Don't cancel.

Yikes! I wouldn't recommend ANYONE get married just six months after meeting... or to get married the same day he proposed!

And either the dates are off in some fashion in this story, or their baby was.... premature (at 7 months!). Glad she's healthy!

Good looking couple. Nice advice about not giving up. Glad it worked out for them.

I had a similar experience on match. My now-fiance's account was to expire at midnight on a certain date last September, and I emailed him just before 10. At 10:
35, he decided to check the account one last time, although it's unusual for him to be online at that hour. If he hadn't, I would have thought he'd blown me off, and moved on.......

The story was sent in after they married -- they then emailed us again I think it was just last week to tell us about the baby. Sorry for any confusion!

WW---counting those months. Geez!

I don't have a problem with people knowing each other 6 months and marrying. Not when they are the ages this couple was. I think by that time, you pretty well know what you want.

And they sure look happy! She's beautiful and he's all swelled up with pride, holding their sweet baby safe in Daddy's arms.

My parents got married 6 mos after meeting. They have been happily married almost 45 years.

That's the double edged sword w/ this online dating thing. You can be only 1 click away from meeting your soul mate, but on the other hand you can completely waste years (and who knows how much cash) looking for someone online and never find them.

That's exactly right; and it's just a matter of how much risk (and money) you're willing to put out there. I ended up paying two months' worth of 3-month subscriptions to both match.com and eH after I'd met my (now) fiance on match, and had turned off matching on both sites. Was that money wasted? Well, in a sense it was. But of course finding him was the ultimate goal, and that was met. He's worth it.
