Single soldiers looking for love on the internet may be buoyed by the experience of one couple.

Priscilla and Ted told the Vancouver Observer that they chose to give online dating a go for different reasons, but are very happy with the result.

After initially meeting up in 2008, the pair are now married and looking forward to a long and happy life with each other.

When asked about her decision to give the web a go, Priscilla stated: "I'm glad I gave it a chance. I had … apprehensions at first, but it ended up being a good judgment call."

On the other hand, her husband remarked although he thought it might be seen as "goofy", his busy lifestyle convinced him that it was worth a shot.

It comes after Peter Spalton, founder of thedatingdoctor.co.uk, said taking to the web to find a partner is a good way to improve confidence.
