Who said you can not get married through a dating site? You can. And if you do not believe me, then look at this couple who got married just 2 months after meeting on a dating app.

The name of the couple is Christopher Rimmer and Viktorija Vakulenko and both of them are 34 years old. After they met on a dating app, the girl travelled to the guy’s country UK and met him. They went to a date with each other couple of time and after spending some hours, they felt that they shpuld get married and they felt a strong bond with each other. And hence, within 2 months only, they tied the knot at Shoreline Church, Southport. On this, the newly wed bride, Viktorija said- ‘The moment I saw his profile I felt a connection to him – his photos made him look open and kind,’ ‘I spoke to a few people on the site but after I met Chris on there I stopped my other conversations and put all my attention onto him. ‘He had such a strong passion for ministry and it just felt right. I knew there was something special and we went for it.’ Viktorija joined the dating site in March 2019 after her sister encouraged her to sign up. She had only been a member for two weeks when Chris came across her profile and struck up a conversation with her. ‘I wasn’t sure about joining the dating site but I’d moved home after travelling in Thailand and my sister suggested it would be a good way to meet people – even just to make some friends,’ ‘I spoke to a few people and then Chris started a conversation with me and it just felt right. To be honest I was planning to stay alone for a while – I didn’t expect to meet someone so quickly. ‘At the time I started applying for jobs in the UK and I planned to go over for the some interviews. It tied in together and I could also finally meet Chris. ‘I remember being at the airport with my mum and she could already see how happy I was, giggling on the phone to him. ‘I already felt like I was in love with him when we were talking online.’

The app lets you cheat as the app duplicates the facebook profile but it would remove your existing relationship status. This would let the users to join it easily without knowledge of their partners.

Another thing that he noticed in the app is that Facebook dating app would not match you with your facebook friends. So, the possibility of getting caught by your partner is less in this case.
