When I went on LDS singles, I wasn't "looking for love." I had ended a 16 year marriage to a nonmember. I was just looking for friendship, and dating sisters with the same standards as myself. My search somehow dipped about 200 miles south of me, to "Cuddlebugs." in Oregon. Her picture revealed gorgeous cheeks, and her profile caught my eye as well. I sent an email on February 21st, and had a quick response. We emailed each other and found we had almost lived parallel lives. We had both made more than our share of bad decisions and realized that true happiness came only through serving our Heavenly Father and the Plan of Salvation. Soon we started talking on the phone and then we just got closer and closer until I had to make the 4 hour trip to see her. We quickly realized we were falling for each other and spent a lot of time on our knees, both together and apart, for our Heavenly Father's counsel and guidance. We knew that we wanted to share eternity with each other. We are planning a temple marriage in the future, but on May 24th, we were married civilly. Until I met her, I don't believe I have ever known true love. Thank you.
