I may not be one of the more prolific posters on this forum, but anyone who recognizes my name may know that I've written at length about my experience with eHarmony and the success I've had with it. I've been with the same wonderful woman I met through this website for over two and a half years now, have been engaged to her since the end of March, and our wedding is about five months away now.

Well, it looks like this next year is going to be very busy for our family, because last night my brother just popped the question to his girlfriend last night as well! They met on eHarmony a little over a year ago, and it was quickly apparent that they were meant for each other. I've met a few of the women my brother dated over the years, but I could tell this one was different. The most amazing thing about her was how she and her son quickly became a part of our family, even if it wasn't official. I can't say that about any other person he's dated. Obviously, we're all very happy for both of them, and I think my parents owe the folks at eHarmony a big letter of thanks for setting up their two boys.

Anyway, I just wanted to share the happy news with everyone and offer a little bit more encouragement for those of you still looking for that one person.

(Oh, and for those of you wondering, I can tell you that my brother was not matched with his fiancée until about ten months after he signed up. So, hang in there if you're frustrated.)

Dear JFo,

It has always been so wonderful to read your posts about your successful eHarmony experience, and we really appreciate you taking the time to join various discussions to encourage members to stay positive and be patient with the process.

But it is especially wonderful to hear that your brother has also found the Love of his Life on eHarmony!

As you may already be aware, we have a special section on our Success Stories page for multiple successes in a family! These stories have always been written by our members, but, who knows, maybe your parents can be the ones to tell how eHarmomy has brought Love and Joy to their two sons and your family as a whole?

All the best as you prepare for your Spring '10 wedding. Please let us know how your plans are progressing. Also, if your brother and/or his fiancee would like to share more about their story here on eHarmony Advcie, please let them know we'd love to hear from them.

All the best.

-Renee

Update: The big day for my brother and his fiancée is July 2! With our own wedding set to take place on April 10, it's going to be a busy spring and summer. Thankfully, it's for all the right reasons.

Hi JFo,

Congrats to your brother and his eHarmony fiancee setting a July wedding date!

Yes, it will certainly be exciting with both of you planning your wedding within months of each other, but what another wonderful experience for the two of you to share!

Thanks to taking the time to share this great news with us. Any more details you would like to share about the wedding plans, I for one would love to hear!

All the best,

-Renee

Hi all. I just wanted to report back in with an update. I'm sitting here in a hotel in the beautiful city of San Juan, Puerto Rico and my wonderful wife is sleeping soundly in the other room.

Yes, the deed is done! I married my eHarmony sweetheart on April 10, 2010, and the two of us have been enjoying our honeymoon ever since the 11th. We took a 7-day cruise on the Caribbean Princess before coming back to San Juan to end the trip. It's been an amazing getaway. I'm sure neither one of us will ever forget this past week.

As great as this past week has been though, it does not compare with our wedding day. Not even close. The ceremony was amazing and included many laughs and a few tears from the congregation. I must admit, my heart skipped a beat when I finally saw my bride all decked out in white. She was amazingly beautiful and I felt so lucky to be with her. Of course the pastor who married us was sure to mention where and how we met. Not only was this his fifth wedding for an eHarmony couple, but he also studied under one of it's founders. (I forget which one though.)

Now the attention turns to my brother, who will be marrying his fiancée July 2. He served as the best man at my wedding, and I will get to return the favor for this summer. I can tell you it will be an honor to stand next to him and cheer him on.

Hi JFo!

Thank you so much for the update. How cool that you sent us your message, sharing the wonderful news about your April wedding, while on your honeymoon in Puerto Rico!

Your wedding ceremony sounds like it was a dream come true for you and your beautiful bride and a wonderful beginning to your life together.

How amazing that the pastor has performed several eHarmony weddings already! Will he also be performing your brother's wedding? Please send our congratualtions to him and his eHarmony bride-to-be.

Also, once all the wedding and honeymoon activities are over and you have a spare minute or two, I really hope you share your story with our Success Stories team. I know they would especially love to hear that the two of you stood up as each other's best man!

All the best to you, your brother, and your lovely brides.

Dear 2million1,

Not only are members successfully matched by on eHarmony, on average, 236 members marry EACH day!

It's always great to hear when someone recommends eHarmony to someone they care about. Did your best friend find her someone special on our site or know someone who did?

It is free to join eHarmony and review highly-compatible matches; so there is nothing to lose by giving our site a try. You are only required to purchase a subscription when you're ready to communicate with your matches.

Also, case you didn't know, we also have a Facebook page where you can interact with successfully-matched members: eHarmony | Facebook. And, of course, you can view photos/videos and read the stories of hundreds of happy eHarmony couples on our Success Stories page: http://bit.ly/aVDxc.

Hope you'll give eHarmony a try and let us know how it goes.

All the best.
