The modern day personals column albeit via computer, eHarmony, boasts 200 plus a day marriages as a result of their computer dating services.
This was certainly the case for a Connecticut couple who lived merely 20 minutes from one another but didn’t actually meet until the eHarmony gurus and algorithm charged computer(s) gave them a second chance at eternal love.
The couple who met via the online dating service had done this before, but in a more conventional way.
Sheri Inferrera and Rob Wilber celebrated their love with a wedding where it all began – the eHarmony corporate offices in Pasadena.
The eHarmony HQ lunchroom was transformed into a beautiful setting to which any bride would have been proud bring her Mom and Dad. The beautifully printed ceremonial schedule, which was complete with a selection of fine wines and Champagnes, topped off the story e-book romance.
About 80 guests which included friends and family of the bride and groom as well as a large contingent of eHarmony employees waited patiently for the blushing bride to stroll down the aisle at the allotted 4pm in her formal wedding gown – to the alter where two HP laptop computers were strategically placed with white rose petals carefully arranged around the very machines that brought them together in the first place.
As the Bride approached the alter as well as dueling laptops, the groom grinned from ear to ear as his new bride garnered the spotlight.
It wasn’t long before the “officiant” minister, Dr. J. Zink of the church of “eHarmony” as he quipped, started the service with the traditional words…
This was the first-ever wedding ceremony and reception to take place at the company’s headquarters.
After the time-honored vows were uttered, a new twist was added. The bride and groom each typed “I do” on their respective laptops and the deal was signed, sealed and emailed!
Sheri and Rob made it legal the knot in the company of their closest family and friends. CEO Greg Waldorf toasted the new bride and groom and eHarmony Senior Director of Content Grant Langston, played the guitar and sang for the ceremony and reception.
The wedding kicks off eHarmony’s 10th anniversary celebration in August.
Sheri Inferrera, 43, and Rob Wilber, 50, of Bristol, Connecticut lived only 20 minutes away from one another but never met until eHarmony intervened, albeit digitally.
