eHarmony Selects 50 Couples to Represent Each State
PASADENA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
eHarmony, the Internet's #1 trusted relationship service, today
announced that John and Mindy Pease, of Kailua, Hawaii, are the grand
prize winners of their 2007 Success Story of the Year Contest. Each
year eHarmony selects 50 couples, representing all 50 states in the
United States based on their eHarmony story, and also selects a grand
prize winner. In 2007, more than 25,000 eHarmony couples submitted
their story in hopes of being named the winner.
As grand prize winners, John and Mindy were awarded a travel
package including flight and five nights stay at a luxury resort in
Orlando, Florida courtesy of Southwest Airlines Vacations and the
Orlando Visitors Bureau.
"When we tell people our story, they can't believe it," said Mindy
Pease, 2007 Success Story of the Year Contest grand prize winner.
"Having a courtship with someone deployed overseas for eight months
and falling in love without meeting in person seems unbelievable. Had
I never joined eHarmony, our paths never would have crossed. I know
I've found my partner for life, and every day I learn more and more
about him and how to better communicate with him. I wouldn't change
one thing!"
"One of our greatest joys at eHarmony is reading the dozens of
daily success stories we receive from our members all across the
country," said Greg Waldorf, CEO of eHarmony. "We're happy to name
John and Mindy our Success Story of the Year and want to thank the
tens of thousands of couples that submitted their stories. Each and
every story we receive is unique and amazing in its own way and is a
daily reminder of why we founded this company."
