Laurel & Cedric: ''I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this man''

I first messaged Cédric on September 11, 2012. Impressed with my spontaneity, he sent some smiles and cards my way, and then finally a message that really got my attention. After enjoying many chats via instant message, we decided we were ready to spend some more time together, but he was in France and I was in Germany. We officially moved to another form of technology to have our first date on October 11, 2012. We clicked on that first “date” and began talking every day after that.

He came to visit me over Thanksgiving and he knew then that he had found his wife. I needed a little more time to know for sure, though, and so he graciously and patiently waited for me to be ready. A month later, while visiting him and his family for New Year’s, I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this man.

On Feb 2, 2013, he slipped a heirloom ring on my finger and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him! We can hardly wait for our wedding day on October 26, 2013. Without Christian Mingle we would never have met. We are so grateful for the people who suggested we try Christian Mingle, and to the site for helping us find one another. God has done an amazing thing in bringing us together.

Praise the Lord for this great gift!
