These ten real-life stories—complete with quotes straight from eHarmony’s Success Stories page—show how serious daters found lasting love through compatibility-based matching. Read on for inspiration, and get ready to believe in happily ever after.
1. Anne & Brian
Hillsboro, Oregon • Married April 9, 2011
“I just pray this works!”
After moving to a small Texas town post-college, Anne tried other apps without luck—until eHarmony’s deep Personality Profile caught her eye. A few weeks later, she was matched with Brian, they wore the silliest outfits on their first date, and now they’ve celebrated over a decade of marriage.
2. Brittany & Willie
Wake Forest, North Carolina • Married January 11, 2020
“It truly was love at first sight.”
Brittany and Willie struck up their first conversation in 2018 and haven’t stopped talking since. She knew he was “the one” by the end of that first date—giving them a romantic Paris wedding and their first child in 2021.
3. Angela & John
Pasadena, California • Engaged July 11, 2020
“Having each other during these stressful months has helped us to know if we can make it through 2020, the rest will be a breeze! We can’t thank eHarmony enough for matching us!”
Frontline workers Angela and John connected in October 2019 and found comfort and hope in each other during the pandemic.
4. Kirsten & Dominick
Louisberg, Kansas • Engaged May 1, 2021
“…neither of them could remember exactly how she responded besides, ‘yes.’”
Introduced during lockdown, their text-and-video chats led to a nine-hour first date. A surprise proposal later, and they’re happily planning their life together.
5. Sara & Richard
Danville, California • Married September 26, 2020
Richard’s opening line was a cheesy-but-cute Game of Thrones pick-up—which won Sara over during quarantine. Their compatibility scores lined up perfectly, and daily messaging turned into an easy first date and a swift path to “I do.”
6. Kiara & Michael
Los Fresnos, Texas • Married August 15, 2020
They bonded over a shared sense of humor and intellect highlighted by eHarmony’s profile prompts. From that first message on November 6, 2019, to celebrating their 2020 wedding, their connection only deepened.
7. Hannah & Ben
Omaha, Nebraska • Married August 29, 2020
Skeptical at first, Hannah “had to eat her words” when eHarmony paired her with Ben in just a few months. Their shared values and understanding made for a smooth journey from profile to partnership.
8. Tobi & Brandon
Charlotte, North Carolina • Married April 7, 2018
YouTube creators Tobi and Brandon matched, bonded over their cat (and career), and tied the knot in 2017—crediting eHarmony for bringing them together.
9. Denise & Dirk
Denver, Colorado • Married May 23, 2009
After matching in 2007, this couple celebrated 12 years of marriage in 2021—and still gives eHarmony full credit for introducing them.
10. Cara & Kyle
Stanhope, New Jersey • Married October 17, 2020
They loved how eHarmony’s in-depth match preferences zeroed in on shared values. Once they met in person, their adventure began—and continues to this day.
