When Sarah, 28, from New York matched with Michael, 31, from London on Kadhaley, she didn't expect to find her soulmate. Two years later, she's Mrs. Sarah Mitchell.
The First Match
'I was skeptical about online dating,' Sarah admits. 'But Kadhaley's video chat feature made me feel safe. I could actually see Michael was real before we got too invested.'
Building Connection Across the Ocean
For three months, Sarah and Michael talked daily. Video dates became their ritual โ morning coffee for her, evening tea for him. 'The time difference was challenging, but we made it work,' Michael says.
Meeting in Person
Michael flew to New York for their first in-person meeting. 'I was nervous, but when I saw her at the airport, everything felt right,' he recalls. 'It was like we'd known each other forever.'
Navigating Long Distance
For a year, they flew back and forth. 'It was hard, but the video chat feature meant we never felt too far apart,' Sarah explains. 'We'd watch movies together, cook together, even fall asleep on video.'
The Proposal
Michael proposed at the Kadhaley anniversary of their first match. He flew to New York secretly and surprised her at the same coffee shop where they had their first video date.
Their Advice
'Don't be afraid of distance,' Sarah advises other Kadhaley users. 'The right person is worth any challenge. And use that video chat feature โ it's a game changer!'
Michael adds: 'Trust the process. Be authentic in your profile, be yourself in conversations, and be patient. Love finds a way.'
