The Tool God Used

Cara and Mel’s love story started with a click of a mouse and keyboard. Cara was sitting on the couch and talking to God about men and past broken relationships. That is when a Christian Mingle online dating commercial came on television and she was like “oh no not another one of these commercials.” The next day on the way to work she turns on the radio in her car and there the commercial is again. Cara was like they must be running a promotional campaign. So, she went to work and on lunch she saw it again so now she is thinking let me just see what this is. So during her hour lunch she signs up and makes a complete profile on that Wednesday in the beginning of April 2016. On that Friday, she receives a message from a guy named Mel asking her what her favorite dessert was as she expressed how much she loved sweets in her profile. They started conversing everyday from morning to evening. After meeting in person in May 2016, they developed a strong friendship (after countless request for rides to the airport and train station from Cara). Mel’s pursuit became known and they started dating with a purpose on September 21, 2016. And now around the same time on September 22, 2019, they will become one flesh under God and be proclaimed husband and wife for forever more.
