July 24 - It is nothing new for online gamblers to use message boards, chat
rooms and gambling forums to meet other players from around the world to talk
about shared interests in the games they enjoy. However, one couple took this
one step further and, after realizing that they share a lot more than just a
love of blackjack, decided to meet and marry!
The story began when "Swede" (no guesses about where he comes from) and "Cynthial"
from the United States joined the CasinoMeister.com online gambling forum
in June last year, set up to exchange game and industry information.
The two first used the online gambling forum to talk about neutral subjects,
but they soon discovered that they both share the same whacky sense of humor and
other interests that go beyond internet gambling. Messages on the gambling
message board were soon taken private, followed by long distance phone calls and
emails on a daily basis.
Earlier this year, the two finally met by flying into Heathrow airport and
spent, according to "Swede", "by far the best week of my life up until then."
After just one week of sightseeing and getting to know one another, they parted
ways to return home.
However, "Swede" was not giving up easily on his new love whom he'd met on
the online gambling forum. After returning to his homeland, he closed down his
antiques business and set off to the United States to make a new life with "Cynthial".
And naturally this story has a happy ending. The two online gambling fans
married very recently and are already making plans to open their dream
restaurant in the States. "You never know what life has in store for you," said
the new Mrs. Swede. "We are just suited to one another."
