Set to be married 2009
Anon
07-Jul-2008
Thanks Midsummer, I was a member for a few months and met a couple with no connection. Then Dave contacted me, we talked for a few weeks on email and then phone. Then met for a drink, we talked (or I talked lol) and we hit it of. It has now been 3 years and we have been living together for over 6 months. We have just got engaged and are booked to be married in August 2009.
Thanks again, good luck to everyone Mr or Mrs Right is out there and is worth the wait in gold

Met my wonderful husband
Helen
02-Jul-2008
I met my wonderful husband Paul on this website in October 2004. After chatting for a few weeks we met up (on his birthday) and have been inseperable since. We moved in together after six months and then sold both our houses and bought a house for a new start in 2006. Paul asked me to marry him on our second anniversary of meeting and we tied the knot last November 2007.
Paul has restored my faith in men, after being cheated on for nearly ten years my confidence was knocked. I didn't know how I would ever meet someone genuine, I didn't think bars and pubs were the ideal place because everyone seems ok when you've had a few drinks. Also, most of my friends were in relationships so it would have been difficult to find someone to go out with in order to meet new people.
I didn't much fancy the idea of internet dating, after all someone could make up all sorts of unthruths about themselves and you wouldn't know. However, a good friend of mine told me one of her friends met her husband on Midsummers Eve and that she was a policwoman, nobody would be more cautious than that. It made me think that maybe I should give it ago.
Once I registered and started getting e mails from men it gave me such a boost. It was fairly easy to work out who was genuine and who wasn't by their typed conversation. After chatting to several people over a few months, I found Paul and I can't explain why but I knew he was special from his first e mail.
I would recommend Midsummerseve to anyone who is looking for love, friendship and a social life. Have faith and becareful what you read and what you say to others. There are lots of genuine people out there in the same situation as you and if it's meant to be you will find them.
Thanks to Midsummers Eve.
I can supply a couple of photographs

I have been hurt quite badly in the past and didnt trust men. I didn't nearly go onto Midsummer's Eve, but I'm glad to say I did and I have found someone who I'm going to be sharing the rest of my life with. Mark and I have just got engaged. I couldnt be more happier. So thankyou Midsummer's Eve.

I was a total mess the day of the date but we hit it off straight away.
We are now engaged to be married and love every moment with each other!
Thanks Midsummers eve, I have found my soul mate!

Hi All at Midsummer's Eve.
I've been a member for almost 5 years, almost given up on meeting my 'Mr Right', when along came Graham and from a few messages and subsequent emails we met last year and the rest is history as they say. We just immediately connected and fell in love. We got married just under 3 weeks ago and are blissfully happy. I just wanted to let others know it truly can happen. Thank you to Midsummer Eve for not only making it possible but creating a unique site for friendship amongst men and women.
THANK YOU!
Helen & Graham xx
Still together 5 years on
morwen
04-May-2008
In 2003 I was a member and mailed another member, 'celtimade' and 5years on we are still together.
In theory we are now partners, but due to the past and current situation, we have our own houses, just 20 miles apart, but are together 2 - 4 days a week.
I think we will be selling both and buying alarger one soon, when my partner retires from nursing. I have retired, but still work part time, so having two houses suits, plus of course we do have 8 children between us, two being 6 & 10 but live with their mum, 5 miles from me.
Just thought I would record a 'success' for your wonderful service, with a big THANK YOU from both of us.
A great big thanks

Married in Mauritius
Janine and Phil
28-Mar-2008
We just want to say thank you to Midsummer's Eve. My husband and I met on your site six years ago. He sent me a cheeky little message, and we just hit it off from the very first contact.
We had such fun getting to know each other in the first few weeks by email and phone, met up after a couple of weeks and within a year had moved in together. We married in Mauritius last year. We've both found the fulfilment and happiness we'd craved for many years in each other's arms and we look forward to many more years of bliss to come.
(We'd be happy to send photographs of our wedding to you.)

When i came on this site i never thought i would find love, but i put on a profile and i just wanted some friends and someone to talk to. Then i got a message off king david (not really a king. lol)

We send each other a message and found out we had so much in common, and we had both been broken hearted before and needed to trust someone.... after a couple of months he came down to meet me and we hit it off straight away, we are now engaged and i can't wait to marry him.

Hi, first I'd like to say thanks to Midsummer's Eve for helping me find my perfect partner! I'd been single for year and a half and decided to put my profile on your site and see what happened. A few weeks later I had a message from Danny, we emailed for a few weeks and then exchaned phone numbers.
Eventually I plucked up the courage to meet him and I'm so glad I did. We just clicked and are getting on so well. I would love to send some photos to you so please send me the address so that I can. Fingers crossed that this ones for keeps, we both feel the same and can't leave each other alone! thanks!

Just been reading some of the other success stories from your site, and thought i would add my own. I met a lovely man on your site, Mark 1972 late last year. We met up after a few months of emailing etc, and have never looked back since. Ironically at the time i wasn't looking for a man in my life but now that it has happened i wouldnt change it for the world. We have been together for a few months now, and although he is in yorkshire and myself in lancashire, we do see each other most weekends, so things couldnt be better. We are looking forward to living together and the future. All thanks to your site.

Three years of marriage and still very happy
Tim
14-Sep-2007
I met Janette on Midsummer's Eve in Mid 2003. I had tried other online dating sites, but Midsummer's Eve seemed to be very relaxed and far friendlier than the other sites.
It was Janette who made first contact, and we hit it off straight away. After a month of emails and telephone conversations we finally managed to meet up for a first date.
What was planned as a coffee and a wander round, turned into a seven hour tour of Norwich and the making of a second date ... that in itself turned into a year long love affair and a September 2004 wedding.
We've just celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary and are still very much in love and very very happy.
All that wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Midsummer's Eve, so we both thank you very much. Tim and Janette. Norwich. (I have photos a plenty if you would like to see them)
Found exactly what I was looking for

We meet on here last year and are now living together and engaged.
I'm glad I join here, other sites are full of men after one thing where as here I found exactly what I was looking for ... and he lived less than 10 miles away.
Thanks ... and good luck every one else.

THANK YOU MIDSUMMER'S EVE
Well what can I say? joined Midsummerseve On Jan 19th 2004. I've had some nice contacts with young ladies around my age group +/- 45-50.
In the spring/summer of last year, introduced a good friend of mine Alan to this site. As he was new to the Internet, I had to write some of the first messages he sent. One was to a lady in England. He didn't have any luck at that time, so I left a resonable gap and started writting to a lady he had made contact with.
In late November 2006 I decided to write to a lady, who replied, not living in England now, I've Recently moved to Wales. As she didn't know, I already knew this after her contact with my friend Alan. This was quite funny as the 1st message came via Midsummer's Eve, then via a message she left saying can't use internet yet as conection in new house not ready, so I replied use text if you wish, her choice.
She did reply in text, phone calls, and we met Dec 14th 06, we now been together almost 9 months, engaged On June 3rd 2007, now looking for our next chapter and verse, all Thanks to Midsummer's Eve. Success come for those who wait OK, Patiants is also a bonus ... TNX xxx
What the hell, let's give it a try!
Don and Elaine
17-Aug-2007
Dear Midsummer's Eve
I was happy to hear from you again as like your email said I had not been on site for a while.
The reason for this is very simple; in 2006 at WOMAD festival I met a lady who like me was working for Oxfam as a steward. As we got talking we both got on to the subject of relationships she told me her story and I told her mine. I told her about Midsummer's web site and how to join. We didn't expect to have contact again. However, she took my advice and joined Midsummer's and I found her profile "roeruthy" and said "hi". We sent each other a few messages and said how sad it was we were too far apart to meet up but both felt good about each other.
To cut a long story short we both said, "What the hell lets give it a try" so I drove to Derby and from there our love grew. We both now live together in Swindon quite happily so this is the reason I have not been on for so long. So many thanks to Midsummer's for making this possible because we would never have met again without you.
We do have lots of pictures if you like me to send some in.
Many Thanks Don & Elaine
Hit it off, from the off!

Having only been on the site for two weeks I met the most wonderful women there is. We hit it off from the off and we are hoping to spend many more romantic times together.
Married four years ago
Kitty

My husband and I 'met' on here in June 2002. Two weeks later we had our first date and then within a month we were planning on buying a house and getting married.
It's 2007 now and we've been married for nearly four years! Our son is nearly two!
On-line chat allowed us to by-pass the usual small talk and fall in love before we ever even saw each other. Midsummerseve worked for us and it's so cheap compared to dating websites - you also get to choose who you want to chat to. Brilliant!
Long distance relationship ends in marriage

The long-distance didn't put us off
Jon and I first wrote to each other on Midsummer's Eve in February 2005 and met up for the first time on Mother's Day a few weeks later, on March 6th. We knew that it would difficult right from the beginning, as he lived in Devon and I lived in Lincolnshire, but after many long journeys this way and that, we got engaged on Christmas Day the same year. I moved in with him in April this year, and tied the knot last Saturday. We had a beautiful churchservice in the village where we live.
Thanks Midsummer's Eve!
RosyLee and me!

Me and Roseylee are living together! I met her on Midsummer's Eve, packed all my belongings into my camper and drove 150 miles south to be with her, leaving my old life behind and starting a new one for both of us...at 47 and 48.
This site really does work! I'm living beside the seaside in sunny Deal in Kent, leaving grim Northants behind. I found my perfect partner on Midsummer's Eve - thankyou!
Janet, my new partner, and I are so alike - both very happy! And we're getting married next spring!!

I met this fantastic guy on here....
Winter
03-Apr-2007
It started with a few messages (which were great) then we started talking via msn and arranged to meet for coffee so he travelled all the way from Poole to Warwick to meet for coffee...but he stayed longer and we had a fantastic day.
This weekend, I am going to Poole to see him. We phone each other every night and talk for about 3 hours as we don't want to put the phone down.
He has made me the happiest woman alive....I really never thought I would meet someone so special.
Thanks alot!
He was the first person I spoke to online!

I was a single mum of one when I joined. The first person I spoke to was bryan and, as I had never met anyone off the internet before, got my friends to come with me to our first meeting!
That was four years ago. We moved in with him after 6 months and have had two beautiful babies since. Thank you all very much!!! xx
Am I pleased that I took her advice!

We first met in July 2005. I was divorced, Barry was a widower. I was looking for a friend to go out with - not a romantic attachment. However, we "got on like a house on fire" over the phone.
I had my reservations because Barry was totally not "my type" but, when I mentioned this to my daughter, she said "but Mum, your "type" are no good for you - why not try a nice guy for a change? Her comment made me think....and I let the relationship progress. Am I pleased that I took her advice!
We have been engaged for 16 months and will be getting married in September. I have taken early retirement from work, moved in with Barry, and now have a lovely life
I am totally happy. Thank you Midsummers Eve!!
Without your site we would never have met

I would just like to say a big thank you to your site for introducing me to a very special person. Without your site we would never have met, it has only been a short time but everything is going really well.
Hopeless Romantic you know who you are!!
It is the best feeling in the world!
Steve
13-Mar-2007
I had had quite a few dates from this site and although they were all really nice women, no one seemed to do it for me.
I had decided to not bother looking any more because I would get really down when I met some one and it did not work. Then I got a reply from a lady I had sent a message to ages before and had forgotten about. So I replied and we exchanged messages. Then we chatted on the phone and made arrangemenets to meet.
On the day we met, as soon as she got out of the car, my heart missed a beat and I knew this is her. The date was for only a coffee but we stayed for over 4 hours and had lunch together I was over the moon and although it has only been 2 weeks I am still on cloud nine and Sylvia feels the same.
So do keep trying because when it happens it is the best feeling in the world! Thank you because without being on this site I would still be alone. Good luck everyone.

News update: We have been married for nearly three years, and never looked back. We have moved up to Scotland and so happy.
Each day we kiss like its our first day of meeting, and each time it's 'I love you'.
Thank you Midsummer, you are wonderful, wouldn't be so happy if it hadn't been for you all on here. Muaaaaaaah
His profile was very attractive and appealing
Inka and Richs
13-Feb-2007
Dear Midsummer's Eve
I thank you for meeting the love of my life.
I got introduced to Midsummer's Eve by a friend in 2003. I had been looking around and went on a few dates but I have never found any kind of "match" and slowly lost interest. After a while I only logged on if I had a message (having kept my profile activated) but "wanna chat, sexy" or "do you want to marry me" didn't do much for me - so for a while I didn't even check my messages anymore.
Richs sent me his first message on Midsummer's Eve on 15th July 2005. We exchanged several emails and chatted online and finally met (10 days later). We are together ever since. From the first email there was this "connection" and I could have not wished for a better man!
His profile was very attractive and appealing - although the "cheerful (most of the time)" should have been changed to "cheerful (except when working)" - everything else was spot on :)
Richard asked me to marry him in February 2007, the day before my birthday - and I accepted.
Thank you Midsummer's Eve
Love from Inka and Richs
Such a wonderful person!

I met Mark on this website after my then husband left me for the next door neighbour!
We chatted online for several months before I finally took the plunge and agreed to met him one lunch time. After spending all afternoon together, we met up the next day and have been together ever since!
We got engaged last Christmas and are due to get married next year. I am so grateful that I was told about this site because hopefully this marriage will last forever unlike my first!
Dreams can come true!
Andy & Jan

Hello again! We have just celebrated our wedding day, and we both wanted to thank Midsummer's Eve once again for bringing us together.
Since we met in March last year, life has been just wonderful. We got engaged on Christmas morning, and were married on 26th August. We had an excellent wedding day, honeymooned in Bath, and are looking forward to the rest of our married life together.
To anyone who might be reading and wondering whether internet dating can work, go on give it a try - dreams can come true!
Love, Andy & Jan
We are forever in your debt!

Six and a half years ago driving home from work to make tea for myself and my kids I heard about your site on Steve Wright's 'website of the day' and tea was late as I decided to give it a go whilst I felt brave enough.
Within four weeks I had met Richard. He joined two days after me, and within six months we were married. This has been the best time of my life.
I never knew but always hoped that two people could love each other as much as we do. Right from the start we agreed to make the most of every day so even with our limited money we've travelled, had fun and he has been a wonderful and loyal friend for my children.
It was a terrible shock to discover a short time ago that Richard has a terminal illness and only has a few months to live - but we still make the most of every day no matter what and, thanks to your website, I have had the sort of true happiness that some people never know. There can be no better success story.
