I do not foresee a future without him.
Daniel and I (shewulfwyn) met in the chat room on Sept. 29, 2008. I checked out his profile because of his nickname (bamabowhunter) since I was raised in AL. He was very cute! We exchanged a few words in chat, but he had to go to do his studying and that was incredibly appealing to me. He had priorities! I guess when he left, he sent me an email saying that he noticed that I was noticing him. I emailed back immediately and we met on IM for a quick talk. He had to go, but promised he would be back at 9:30 PM. I waited and waited and thought he had stood me up when he appeared one hour later. I did not consider the time difference! We chatted forever. He was funny and sweet. We quickly progressed to the phone and spent nights on the phone talking to each other, getting little sleep. He called me on his lunch break that week for a couple of days. I knew I needed to do something. I could not go on neglecting my house, getting no sleep without knowing if we might be compatible in "real life." On Tuesday, on our lunchtime call, I impulsively blurted that he should meet me halfway that weekend. He hesitated for only a short time and said "OK!" We planned to meet that weekend at a halfway point in GA. I could barely contain myself the rest of the week and I think Daniel felt the same. We wondered if we were doing the right thing. I had met a few people from online, but only after long periods of chat and getting to know each other during sessions. He had met others as well. None of those had ever been really successful. We felt that this time it was better to meet sooner than later and not waste our time. At the worst, we would have made a new friend. We did not really tell anyone what we were doing... I did tell my Mom at the last minute JUST IN CASE. We both left on Friday, me in the early afternoon and Daniel late that night. I got to the hotel to make sure we had 2 rooms and make myself look (feel) beautiful. We talked several times on the phone while he traveled. I was having panic attacks wondering when he would arrive. He arrived in the wee hours of Saturday morning on October 6th and when I opened the door, he swept me into his arms and hugged me for what seemed like forever. We sat down face to face and talked. I blushed as he looked at me intensely. We went on for hours, as it seemed we had always known each other. There were a few times he got up to let me get some rest and go to his room next door, but never made it. We stayed together that night and when he kissed me I felt the Earth move. We spent the weekend in each other's arms and come Sunday had a hard time letting go. He told me to just say yes and he would follow me home! But I cared for him and knew he had home, family, job and school back in AL. He could not just up and follow me home. We talked on the phone many times on our ways home. Life got no easier when we got back to our respective homes. We continued to stay up all night talking and going to sleep listening to each other breathe on the phone. On Tuesday, October 9th, I messaged Daniel saying "If I had known I would miss you so much, I would have let you follow me home." He messaged back that he had "Mapquest" and enough money to get there, so if you want me there then let me know." I called him as soon as I could and asked if he was serious. What about school? His job and family? We knew we needed to try it, though. We just weren't functioning well long distance. By the end of the next week, Daniel had withdrawn from school, left his job, and moved his belongings out of the house he rented. His family thought he was crazy. So did mine. October 13th he arrived "home." November 10th, he proposed to me in front of an entire restaurant and my family. March 29th, our 6 month anniversary, we were married on the beach. I do not foresee a future without him and I know I am happier than I have ever been. We are committed to making it work, there is communication and compromise. Everything that was missing from my other relationships. Thank you for your part in this!

We wanted to be together.
Jay (gentlebear101) and I (chelseagirl) met in the chat room. We both have been on BBWPersonals off and on for about 3 years before meeting. He whispered to me, I whispered back and our relationship went over to email and then phone. We started talking several times a day and we met one another about 7 weeks after first meeting. I flew to Rhode Island for my birthday and what a spectacular birthday it was!! Jay set the whole 5 days up and we got to know one another and realized that our feelings that we thought were happening online and via the phone were truly real.
Through the months, we've had our ups and downs and separated several times. We would still converse with one another knowing we couldn't actually be out of one another's lives.
Flights back and forth from Indiana to Rhode Island, vacations to Nashville, TN and New York City made us realize that we wanted to be together.
Jay proposed in August of 2007 and I wish I could say I instantly said yes. I knew I loved this man, but was also fearful of being hurt. We dated, saw one another as often as we could, and I flew to see Jay during the Thanksgiving holiday. Jay and I were enjoying our time together and he asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told him a ring would be nice. I had accepted his proposal. He immediately took me out to find my engagement ring and with the help of the jewelry store, they had it sized and ready for me to wear back to Indiana to show my family and friends.
One discussion after another on when and where the wedding would take place ballooned into us having our wedding in Orlando FL when we knew a lot of our friends from BBWPP would all be together. We were married on Saturday evening, March 29, 2008 and I'm packing my things, selling off other things and I'll be moved to Rhode Island by the end of April 2008.
We thank BBWPP for allowing us to meet, fall in love, and find the person that we will be spending the rest of our lives with. This site does work!

We knew our hearts, values, and backgrounds were compatible.
Her Story:
I am so glad I waited to meet my soulmate, Phil (Sacramentoman). We met on the internet on New Year's Eve with a simple smile, followed by lots of mail, and finally phone calls that lasted hours. We just exchanged our vows this March 2008. Yes, our courtship was short, however, as older financially stable empty-nesters, we both knew our hearts, values, and backgrounds were all compatible and we knew we didn't need to wait to start our lives together. Even on our first date, seeing each other in the pouring rain and being served lousy food and service, we both felt the fireworks. Our advise to others is stay open to this experience, stay picky, and know and respect yourself enough to say No, not interested to those singles that you know in your heart is not your match. I was on this site for two years and I didn't give up hope. Be picky so that when your soul mate sends a smile, you will be ready to say, "I do"

His Story:
I met Laura (Gingerssnap2 ) on NEW Year's Eve in 2007; she was on-line. I was instantly drawn to her photo. We began corresponding and after a month we met and it was magic! WE truly are soul mates. We got married on March 6th and are so very, very happy. Thank you BBW!!!!

It feels wonderful to embark on our second year together.
Last December, exactly on the 25th, I met my current boyfriend through your site. His username was Expressway. My user name of course is Ntrigue24. I recommend your site to all of my friends. It was a perfect opportunity to get exposer to a specific category of men that love and appreciate a plus size woman.
It feels wonderful to embark on our second year together. I'm optimistic that 2008 will be an even a better year for the both of us. May your site continue to bring real people together to experience the real relationships together!
