Our Story

How We Met

The short version: we met online.


A longer version:


Once upon a time in the digital realm of Christian Mingle, two brave souls embarked on a quest unlike any other. Sir Simon, a gallant knight known for his unmatched emoji skills, and Lady Melissa, a dazzling lady with the power to create the most captivating texts, were both in pursuit of the fabled ‘True Love’s Ping’.


Their paths crossed in the enchanted forest of Profile Woods, where avatars roamed wild and free. It was there that Sir Simon first laid eyes on Lady Melissa's introductory avatar, a virtual drop of the handkerchief upon his profile. He returned her electronic message in a bottle into the sea of text replies, hoping it would find its way to her.


Lady Melissa, intrigued by the Sir Simon's timely response, replied with a joke about her fascination with gluten free muffins. Thus began a series of trials where love won after a series of battles against the dreaded Spam Dragon, the treacherous cliffs of Zoom, and the dark caves of Internet Outages.


Together, they discovered the secret lair of the legendary CupidBot, who, impressed by their tenacity, granted them the ‘True Love’s Ping’ - a connection so strong, not even the worst network lag could disrupt it.


And so, Sir Simon and Lady Melissa have returned to the land of Offline, their bond forged in the fires of cyberspace, ready to begin their happily ever after. Their digital friends still speak of their epic love story, a tale for the ages, or at least until the next app update.
