“I loved Bobby so much in just a short time. He makes me so happy and tells me I am his queen.”

Michelle and Bobby

I am a single mom of three girls. I have been divorced for five years.

I wasn't the type to go to bars and meet people I tried meeting people through friends, but that led to nothing. Last year, I decided to join Yahoo! Personals just to take a chance.

It started when Bobby sent me an email. I asked for a picture because he didn't have one, but in the meantime we chatted every day and sent each other emails. We chatted at night for hours getting to know each other. I was still asking for a picture but by now Bobby's looks weren't that important to me because he was a great person on the inside.

After about a week of chatting I had to meet him. He lives two hours away so we planned it all out. He came to see me because didn't want me to travel. He was such a gentleman! He opened every door, wouldn't let me spend any money. I got him a hotel room and stayed there with him. He never tried anything and was very respectful. He made sure I had everything that I needed to be comfortable.

I missed him so much

I didn't want Bobby to go home the next day, but I had to work, and I missed him so much. The next week I was on vacation from work, so out of the blue I called Bobby and said you have to come pick me up at the ferry dock, I can't wait to see you again.

He was so happy that he made sure he was there to get me. That night I got to meet his son and we all went out to dinner. I also got to meet his friends. Everything was so perfect it was like a dream.

We had been together for only two weeks but it felt like a long time. We had long talks on the beach with our morning coffee -- just getting to know all about each other, sharing our past hurts and our future of happiness.

I am his queen

He is the man of my dreams! I loved Bobby so much in just a short time. He makes me so happy and tells me I am his queen. We both have children and understand a lot of the strain children cause on a relationship, but we know this will work. We talk to each other about everything, it's like a dream.

Now, almost a year after we met, Bobby and I are getting married on May 19. How is that for a success story?
