Dear Catholic Singles,
Thank you for providing a service for Catholics to meet and fall in love. My husband and I met on your website, and were married on June 27, 2009.
When Darin and I met over 5 years ago, both of us had come out of long-term relationships that left each of us heartbroken. From the moment that we met, however, we knew this was different and special. Since we are both devout in our Catholic faith and shared the same heritage, we immediately knew our bond had lots of potential.
That potential quickly blossomed into a wonderful relationship…a close friendship and a connection that was very unique and very special to both of us. We both felt as if we had known each other for years. A year after we met and dated, Darin landed a job in Sydney. Since we didn”t know what the future would hold, we decided to remain friends and keep in touch.
Throughout the years, we stayed very close. I visited Darin in Australia, but didn”t think we would ever be more than just friends. It took a series of tragedies, life experiences, and a little “Divine Intervention” for us to realize that one of the most precious gifts that God had ever given to us was right there all along!
Any number of things could have happened after that first e-mail but, in the end, we wound up together. We are enjoying each other today as much as the day we met in that litle Polish restaurant in the East Village, NYC. We both believe that God has a plan for our lives…and that plan is for us to be together.
Our wedding was truly a “New York” wedding, complete with a beautiful Mass in Polish and English, a vintage cab ride around Manhattan, a terrace overlooking the Empire State Building, and guests from all over the world.
In the words of Natalie Merchant, we are both truly “blessed and lucky!”
Jolanta and Darin
