Met at a meetup
Norfolkian 18-Aug-2010
I met Karen at my first meet. I was actually already seing someone from MSE but it didn't last. A few weeks later I asked Karen out for a date and we got on fine.
We are now looking to buy a house together but are having problems selling our own houses! I'm still on MSE but just for the meets which I think is the best thing about it.
I have made many friends through the meets and would like to thank them all for being a great bunch, they know who they are.
Married in two week's time
Steve 27-Jul-2010
Gordon et al...
3.5 years ago I met Carol on Midsummer's Eve. In two weeks we get married.
Thank you for the vision behind Midsummer's Eve. When I joined you still had the grape screensaver and I used dial up - little was I to know what lay ahead!
Wishing you well for the future.
Steve
Not coming back!
Tori 22-Jul-2010

No longer a fiancee ...
Zorlen 24-Jun-2010
It's been two years in the making since I met Sam on Midsummers and I'm delighted that Sam is no longer a fiancee ... but a wife instead. We married at Plymouth's Registry Office on my 40th - 3 April 2010 in front of friends and family and held the reception at The Three Crowns on the Barbican.
We chose two bridesmaids, Terri Ann and the youngest ever bridesmaid Scarlett Leigh who at the time of the wedding was a mere three weeks old and a cute baby at that. Groundbase Photography provided the photography for the day.
Three weeks on and it still hasn't sunk in yet. To Sam.... here's to a long future and love you so much.
Mark and Sam are married ... world's youngest bridesmaid?

Married in July 2009
chezza 11-Aug-2009
Well I 'met' my now husband Mark (El Bannedido) on MSE in June 2008, liked the look of him, followed his posts and got chatting by PM and phone, and then decided to take the plunge and ask him out on a date.
But I did it in public in the Dating Room cos I wanted to share our potential happiness with friends on MSE. Luckily Mark said yes and 2 weeks later we met up. From that day he made me laugh with his own special brand of humour,his wisecracks and anecdotes.
I fell in love with him shortly after and knew that I wanted to be with him. We met many times, Mark met my family and got on well with them and my kids liked him too. We had our ups and downs but our love overcame everything
Mark asked me to marry him on Xmas day 2008, and gave me a beautiful white gold diamond engagement ring.
We started our wedding plans, it wasn't easy but we got there and on July 25th 2009, 13 months after we first met I became Mrs Bannedido haha. A few of our MSE friends joined us to help celebrate the happiest day of our lives and it was a beautiful day. The weather was lovely, the hotel was lovely, the whole day was perfect. At the moment we live in Kent but will be moving to Sussex and spending the rest of our lives there,happy and content.
Thank you Gordon and MSE, for bringing us together. For all you cynics who dont believe in dating sites, see it does work !!
Love you with all my heart

The Day My Life Changed (A Poem)
Jan 28-Jul-2009
THE DAY MY LIFE CHANGED
I met a local man after my divorce in September 2004,
We got on well at first, but over time he became a bore.
He never took me out, or treated me, not even a cup of tea,
He was a miser and self centred, he didn't care about me.
I hoped with time he would change, but he didn't, so I made my leave,
And joined a dating site in June 2008 called Midsummers' eve.
Almost straight away I came across a good looking guy,
He sounded interesting, but I didn't pm him, cos I was shy.
The next day he pm'd me, said he liked my profile, did I want to chat,
I replied yes and couldn't believe that I'd found someone as quick as that.
We found we had a lot in common and clicked straight away,
And we couldn't wait to meet each other, so arranged a suitable day.
We finally met July 21st 2008 in an open public place,
Where we sat and had coffee, a chat and looked at each other face to face.
We live 100 miles apart and he calls me everyday on his mobile phone,
To tell me how lovely I am, and to reassure me whilst living on my own.
We meet at weekends for MSE meet ups or to do our own thing,
And we're so happy together, we make each others' heart sing.
I've had one of the happiest years for a long time and we've done so much together,
We feel our love is getting stronger, that I hope will go on forever.
So I thank you Paul, for turning my life around,
Cos you're such a fantastic guy, that I can't believe I've found.
Found my dream girl
Rob 11-May-2009
Hi i just thought id write to say thanks as i have found my dream girl on MSE we hit it off from the first meeting and we get along great I never thought i would find the right girl as i have found on here
Both happy
Carol 08-May-2009
I met Kannylad back in April 2007 on here.
After sending each other a few messages and several phone calls we met up in a local pub, it was handy only living 5 miles apart!
We got on well and met up a few more times and then went to a MSE meet up in the North East for bowling and a meal (my only meet up!)
Since then we have enjoyed 7 holidays abroad together including motorbike holidays in europe!
This was my first date from an internet dating site so I can say to others - it's definitely worth trying!
It's now over 2 years since we met and now live together and we are both happy to be in a stable relationship.
Thanks MSE!
Carol
Four of the happiest years
Debby 06-Apr-2009
Footnote to update 22.06.06 of Debbylea and Dep1.
We married on the 15.12.07 and can not thank Midsummers Eve enough as we are so happy and such soul mates. It really has been a marriage made in heaven.
This means so much more to me now as well because I have just been diagnosed with incurable cancer and at least I know that I have had 4 of the happiest years of my life all down to this wonderful website.
Broken hearted to soon be parted but our love lives on and as the old adage goes... better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.
Thank you again
Debby xxxx
Met someone very special
Lorraine 14-Mar-2009
I have met someone very special on here.
Thank You
We played it cool ... now we're married!
Anon 11-Mar-2009
i joined the site back in Aug 2002 after my husband left me so was quite aprehensive but i went on to make loads of contacts on here. I went to meet one person who'd i'd been chatting to for a while and we played it cool as i had 4 children and he had none, so of course, very cautious for my childrens sake if anything. Well what can i say we moved in together in September 2004, got married in July 2005 (photo available) and had our baby daughter in June 2006 and we couldn't be any happier. The advantage of the site was that we got a lot of the nitty gritty stuff out of the way, things we liked, disliked etc and we were more relaxed when we finally met - so a big thank u to Midsummers Eve, which by the way was recomended to me by an ex!!!
Don't lose faith!
Jadis 14-Feb-2009
Hi there, I joined after my friend met her husband through MSE (they now have a little boy and have emigrated to New Zealand).
The love of my life and I met on your site in July last year. There was a romantic proposal (accepted) on Christmas Eve and we are getting married in August :-)
Don't lose faith!
Cupid must have been around
Jocelyne and Sabri 13-Jan-2009
I (jocelyne) joined in June 2006 from Dublin. I received several messages from you saying that gentlemen from UK were interested in my profile, but ignored them as I was looking at the Irish side of the site .... until the day (early August 2006) you told me that Sabri in London was interested .... and that day I answered and contacted him.
We spend the 2 following days chatting together (nearly non stop!) & the following weekend (August 11th) and in spite of the big mess at UK airports, I had a flight to London to meet him... Cupid was obviously around!
Next month, it will be 2 1/2 years together....
As well, Last September & October we were happy to attend the weddings of friends who met Thanks to your site too! Our wedding should follow soon, of course ...
PS: I gave the site website to a friend in Ireland just today & wish him the Best Of luck & hopefully soon, the Best of Happiness..
Married with four kids - wow!
Jacqui 10-Jan-2009
Jacqui and I married in May 2009. We met though this site in 2002. We have four children in total and are extremely happy.
Tips for anyone - look for friendship first and then take it from there. At worst, you gain a friend, at best you're setup for life, like we are!
Thanks to you.

Living in hope
Anon 11-Oct-2008
I decided to make a new start on january 1st 2008, and joined Midsummer's Eve.
I had a few e-mails and met up with 1 nice man, but we didnt quite click.
Then i got a message from a bloke living 20 miles away. We chatted by e-mail, then spoke on the phone once, and arranged to meet. He was very shy and reserved(not my type at all!!) but he definately had the "wow" factor.
To cut a long story very short, after 7 weeks we were living together, and we have had some great weekends away walking and mountain biking. My kids love him, and my daughter cant wait to be our bridesmaid next summer!!
I would recommend this site to anyone.
No longer just "living in hope" , but very happy.
All because of Midsummer's Eve
Irene 07-Oct-2008
Dear Midsummer John (romanticme) sent me a message on here on the 23rd March this year,I had received messages befor but nothing clicked,I was about to give up as I thought this just wasn't for me, but when I read Johns message something just clicked and befor I knew it I was head over heals in love with him,he is a fantastic romantic caring and most of all very loving man , we have stayed at each others homes as often as we could as distance was a bit of a problem,but now he will be moving in with me in November (can't wait) and we hope to get married on Valentines day and its all because of Midsummer many many thanks from the bottom of our hearts

She did the proposing!
Mark 23-Sep-2008
I have been a member of Midsummers for about a year on and off with no success ... until May 2008, when I received a message from Sam... we met 10 days after and after 4 weeks, Sam actually did the proposing which I accepted and 4 months on, we have set a date to get married on 11 July 2009. I am glad to say that I feel complete with Sam and couldn't be any happier.
To Sam... a very special lady... I love you so much and look forward to spending my life with you xxx.

hi Midsummerseve. Just wanted to let you know that I met my fiance on here 5yrs ago. We have been living together for 3 yrs now and he proposed to me this Aug just gone. It was very romantic - we were in Egypt on holiday so the setting was perfect under the moonlight as he got down on one knee.
