Jean and John
“I wasn't particularly nervous about our first date although I have to say I was nervous about what Jean might think of me. I was pretty confident that I would really like her so I was hoping she’d feel the same."

Lisa and Jason
"The following February, Jason asked me to marry him. He left the house and there was a video tape for me to play which gave me a number of clues as to how to find where he was. He put so much effort into this, involving our friends and family in the hunt, it was amazing!"

Joanna and David
“Where to start on how amazing finding David is? I always dreamt of having 'the fairy tale' romance, the one where your eyes meet for the first time and you just know that you have been searching for this person all your life. My previous relationships had failed and I ended up trying very hard to convince myself that others had been 'the one' and ignoring the little voice in the depth of my heart saying ‘Joanna, he wasn't the one.’"

Stella and Peter
“We ended up meeting on the coldest day of the year in 2010. My friend had recommended we meet at a nice, rural pub but she obviously wasn’t aware that the pub was closed for renovations. After trying the door handle of the deserted tavern, we stood in the frozen car park in a snowy, country lane and burst out laughing…what a good start!"

Juliet and Philip
"The fact that we have both survived losing a partner and having to bring up children on our own obviously forged a deep link between us. We both have a deep love of the arts and understand what it’s like to work at a really focused job. We have both been surprised and delighted to find love again after thinking that we’d already had our fair share!"
