How Happier Abroad Began
In 1995, three single men were looking for a new direction in their lives. John
Adams and Ron Redburn decided to start a business built around the substantial computer programming skills of the
third founding member, Kenneth Agee.
Although somewhat limited in scope, their original idea was to create a computer dating network between bars and
restaurants in the
Phoenix metro area.
Advanced brainstorming saw the idea broaden to that of a computerized, world wide international
matchmaking organization. It was a visionary business plan, ripe with opportunity. It was an exciting
adventure for the three (then) bachelors from Phoenix. Bringing the plan to fruition required a lot of hard work, but after many long days and nights they combined their efforts with a small start up investment. On
Saturday, February 10, 1996, LoveMe.com was registered and became the first internet-based International
Marriage Agency in the world.
Since that time, John, Ron, and Ken have all found and married Russian brides with the help of LoveMe.com/A Foreign Affair.
They are living proof that not only does the process work but that a lifetime of happiness can start
with a single email, phone call or by attending a Singles Tour.
Today AFA continues to lead the industry by offering more Singles Tours to more destinations than any other company in
the world.
If you have any questions or comments about our service please feel free to call us. Again, we sincerely appreciate the fact that you have considered using our service.
