Farmers Weekly: “Turning Muddy Singles into Happy Couples”
Friday, June 01st, 2012
Farmers Weekly’s Nancy Nicolson interviewed Lucy Reeves, co-founder of Muddy Matches to find out why so many couples find love on the successful countryside dating site.
Starting out with just 1000 members in 2007, Muddy Matches has grown to have “65,000 members and a long procession of weddings, births and long-term relationships”.
The article features the success stories of rural couple Richard and Laura Guy, dairy farmers Richard and Anna Infield and Young Farmers Ian Sedgewick and Glenys Forthergill, who all found love on the website.
“I’ve recommended Muddy Matches to a few friends who are still single,” said sheep farmer Ian, who proposed to his fiancee Glenys at Castlerigg Stone Circle following a whirl-wind romance.
Farmers Weekly is now on the hunt for more couples who have met in an “especially muddy way”. So if you walked down the aisle in wellies or used a sheep as a ring bearer let us know on the Muddy Matches Facebook page.
