Get into the spirit of the royal wedding with Independent Singles

The fairy tale wedding of the century is fast approaching and in just over two weeks the young and handsome Prince William is set to wed his beautiful Princess, and university sweet-heart, Kate Middleton.

As their big day draws closer, public excitement builds and Britain gets set to celebrate the biggest royal wedding for 30 years. Around a million people are expected to travel to central London on 29 April to watch the happy couple tie the knot, not to mention the two billion that the wedding is expected to attract on a global scale. With a special bank holiday, live coverage being broadcast straight into our homes and street parties planned up and down the country, there certainly is a buzz in the air.

It may not be Wills and Kate but here at Independent Singles we’re very proud to say that we’ve had a helping hand in bringing some of our own couples together. Here are just two of the fantastic stories from our lucky members who, from a brief encounter on Independent Singles, managed to find their very own "happily ever after".

"My job ensures that I don’t have too much free time so for me, online dating seemed like the perfect option. When I saw an ad for Independent Singles in the newspaper I thought why not give it a go? I’m so glad I did because after only a few months of being a member I met the most amazing and utterly perfect woman. So much so, that I got down on one knee and popped the question already, and guess what…. She said yes!" - Stuart, 35, London.

“I’ve never had much luck when it comes to guys, so when my 'coupled up' friends said I should join a dating site I was a bit weary. Well I'd obviously been looking in all the wrong places because not long after joining I got a wink from a rather good-looking guy. His profile was really funny so it definitely seemed too good to be true. Before our first date I was the most nervous I think I’ve ever been but we got on great and needless to say I’m over the moon. He proposed at Christmas and we're planning for a wedding next summer! Thanks for restoring my faith Independent Singles!” - Samantha, 29, Surrey
