First Marriage of the Year – January 1, 2012, thanks to eLove

She knew it was love when they shared desserts of cheesecake and apple crisp on their first date at the Piccadilly Pub in Foxboro.

Soon thereafter, Kathy Jones, 51, a Quincy resident and Edward P. Mathers, 58, an Attleboro resident, became perhaps the first newlyweds of the New Year when they tied the knot on January 1, at 2 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Hingham. More than 100 were in attendance.

The wedding, the second for both the bride and the groom, was a family affair and included the daughter of the bride, Kimberly P. Jones as the maid of honor and Kathy’s brother William Long walked her walked her down aisle.

Other participating family including grandson Gabriel Jones, 4, who served as the ring bearer; niece Brianne Killcommons, 5, as flower girl; niece Mary Lou Long assisted with a reading and son Mathew Jones served as an usher. Best man was Ron Stokes, a long-time friend of the groom.

The bride wore a bright red gown which she noted represents “a second chance at love.”

The couple met through eLove, the nation’s largest office-based dating service. Kathy commented, “The dating service was wonderful. They were very responsive and offered great tips and advice to make me more comfortable on my dates. Bless them. I would have never met Edward without their help.”

Kathy continued, “They really matched us well. We have so much in common including a love for outdoor sports – kayaking and biking. We even went on our first camping trip with my family in July. Sometimes we just stay in and get cozy watching movies. Just spending time together is a pleasure.”

Kathy added, “We are very open about meeting through a dating service. In fact, the massage therapist who I saw prior to the wedding ceremony was also married off by eLove. And Ed’s tuxedo rental clerk also met his wife through eLove. We took these as very good signs.”

The newly minted New Year’s couple planned to honeymoon in Portsmouth and North Conway, NH prior to settling in Attleboro.

eLove Matchmaking Launches Valentine’s Day Contest

Whether it was your first date or your thirty-first date – if you have a great, offbeat date story, eLove Matchmaking wants to hear about it.

eLove Matchmaking is holding a Valentine’s Day contest for the “Best Offbeat Date” story. From now until February 13th, submit your “Best, Offbeat Date” story for a chance to win a $50 Darden Restaurant Gift Card.

“We’ve all experienced that quirky date, where plans get mixed up, Mother Nature interferes or the date takes an amusing, unusual twist. The funny thing is that an offbeat date can turn out to be a positive experience and oftentimes the beginning of a beautiful relationship,” said Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove, one of the largest professional introduction companies in the world.

Perhaps your romantic dinner at a swanky restaurant turned into a giddy farce when you were provided with only bread sticks and wine due to a power outage from severe weather. Or, the time your date dinged another couple’s car while parallel parking and you ended up on a double date with the other couple, springing for dinner as restitution. eLove Matchmaking will share the submitted stories online at elovemagazine.com.

On Valentine’s Day, three winning “Best, Offbeat Date” stories will be announced. Winners will receive a $50 Darden Gift Card to be used at any one of the following six restaurants: Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Longhorn Steak House, The Capital Grille, Bahama Breeze or Seasons 52.

Know a great single dad who hasn’t yet met that special someone, but would like to? eLove encourages you to nominate him as “America’s Favorite Single Dad”.

eLove, the fastest growing matchmaking firm in the country with over 50 matchmaking offices nationwide and home offices in Norwell, MA and Los Angeles, CA, is holding the “America’s Favorite Single Dad” contest to recognize and reward a hardworking, stand-up single dad, who just can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to meeting that special gal.

“There are a lot of attractive, funny, nice guys who really have trouble putting themselves out there and meeting someone. They’re not considered ‘bad boys’ or ‘players’, but are truly great guys. ‘America’s Favorite Single Dad’ is an unsung hero – that single father who slogs it out at work and then comes home and cares for his child(ren), who doesn’t get much time to date,” explained Julie Ferman, nationally renowned matchmaker who runs eLove’s offices in the L.A. area.

Three winners will be selected among all entrants, but only one will be named “America’s Favorite Single Dad” and receive a free full membership to eLove. The second place winner will receive an iPad and third place winner will receive an iPhone.

“Our mission is to provide singles with that all-important initial connection with the right people and simplify the love search process for the relationship-minded,” noted Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove. “We sit down with our clients; get to know them better – their goals, dreams and expectations – and help them make successful connections.”

“America’s Favorite Single Dad” nominations can be made by a third party or men may actually nominate themselves. Nominees must be at least 18 years of age and single.

Tell us about that great single dad you know. Nominate “America’s Favorite Single Dad” by sending an email to FathersDay@elove.com.

eLove’s Paul A. Falzone weighs in on Emotional Affairs

Matters of the heart –

An emotional affair, which often masquerades as a friendship, can happen whether you’re single, married or in a committed relationship.

Paul A. Falzone, CEO of eLove, one of the world’s largest matchmaking services, shares his insight about what constitutes emotional fidelity and the telltale signs of an emotional affair of someone who is in a committed relationship.

According to Falzone, “The best way to explain emotional fidelity is to explain what constitutes emotional infidelity. Technically, this is when you choose not to or you’re unable to share your emotions, thoughts and feelings with your significant other, yet you share them with someone else of the opposite sex. Although you’re not having a physical affair, you are being emotionally intimate with someone other than your partner.”

Emotional infidelity is not simple flirting. But, it can begin with flirting, as that is how many relationships develop. That casual banter with a co-worker may turn in to flirting and something more serious and emotionally involved as time goes on.

To be emotionally faithful is to not betray your partner. You know your partner better than anyone else; what his or her needs are and how he or she feels about everything. If you’re sharing special thoughts, feelings, ambitions or dreams with someone other than him or her, then you are knowingly being emotionally unfaithful and trust has been broken.

Here are a few examples of emotional fidelity that will help keep you in check:

You receive good (or bad) news, whether it relates to work, health, finances, friends or family and you’re excited to share it with your significant other (as opposed to someone else of the opposite sex).

You have a problem with your partner and you want to discuss it with your partner (and not someone else of the opposite sex).

You have a new idea or dream or you’re considering making a change in your life and the only person you discuss it with is the one whose got your back – your partner.

“To be cognizant of what is an isn’t emotional fidelity is half the battle. If you feel you can talk with, or that you are closer to, that ‘friend’ than you are to your significant other, then that’s a sure sign that your relationship needs attention,” noted Falzone.

eLove Launches Elite, Concierge-Level Dating Service

According to the U.S. Census Bureau News (July, 2009), there were more than 900 dating service establishments (including Internet dating services) nationwide in 2002. Eight years later, that number has grown significantly. So, with the glut of dating services out there, how does a consumer choose? In launching its new Concierge level of membership services, eLove makes it easier for soul-mate seeking singles to decide which service suits them best.

eLove is the first “life stage company” within the dating industry to provide different levels of dating services, from internet to traditional matchmaking, based on how serious singles are about meeting their soul mate. eLove’s Concierge level of service takes it one step further.

eLove’s professional matchmakers meet with the concierge level member to gather background information and conduct an in-depth interview about their goals and lifestyle. They learn about past relationships; what s/he does for a living; what s/he does for recreation; how s/he spends her/his time; her/his hopes and goals for the future and much more. During the interview process, eLove’s matchmaker is also busy evaluating wardrobe, manners and more to see where a little extra help might be needed.

Jill Vander, Executive Director of Matchmaking at eLove explains, “Not only do we delve into the lives of our members and their needs and desires in order to help them find their soul mate; we assist in other areas of their lifestyle to ensure that our members are putting their best foot forward when we introduce them to potential matches. We set them up for success.”

Concierge-level members of eLove can rely on their professional matchmaker, who also acts as a “lifestyle consultant” to help them become the best they can be and introduce them to other successful singles and potential soul mates.

“We let our Concierge-level members know what is working for them and what isn’t. We consult with them on just about everything from what to wear and where to go on a date to the good night kiss and the right type of flowers to send. We’ve even been known to procure theater tickets and make dinner reservations for them,” said Vander.
