This week, we’ve been telling you how folks around Kentuckiana are meeting their special someone.
The majority of them say they would not resort to reality television. Our Survey USA poll found 70% of people said they would not appear on a show to meet their loved one. So, would you go on a simple lunch date? We met up with the dating service called “It’s Just Lunch” Monday morning. They introduced us to one couple who met two years ago on a simple lunch date. And their “happily ever after” happened live on “Good Morning Kentuckiana” when Todd Blunk proposed to his girlfriend. “Margaret Blackwell, you know I love you… will you marry me?” And her reply was a resounding, “YES!” -Click here to see the proposal - "I'm very happy,” says Margaret just moments after Todd popped the question. “I'm still shaking! I'm just excited." These two lovebirds are both divorced. They met through "It's Just Lunch." It’s tagged as a matchmaking service that sets up simple lunch dates for busy professionals looking for love. Their directors say the point of it is no pressure, no set-up and no commitments. "I've done anything from match.com to Louisville Mojo,” says Todd. “But this sets you up with people through a profile. Margaret was my seventh date." Todd was Margaret’s first date. "I was a little nervous, pacing outside the restaurant,” says Margaret about her first date with Todd. “I’m thinking ‘Oh, my gosh,’ what am I doing?! But then I'm so glad I took that leap... I found the man of my dreams! Now I'm getting married!" "It just goes to show, you never know,” says Sequoia Harris, a director of “It’s Just Lunch. “Just have a little faith... have a little faith in fate!" ~WHAS Channel 11 News
