A prominent couple now living in Greater New Haven met on a blind date 53 years ago. They have been together ever since and raised a family. Can you guess who the husband and wife are?

We will reveal them Friday in the New Haven Register's Weekend! section in a special edition of Register Matchmaker (in which our Love Team has arranged almost 20 blind dates).

In the meantime, we'd like to hear your stories, too.

Tell us about your best - or worst - blind date. Did the encounter end there or did a relationship develop afterward? What advice would you give other couples about to embark on a blind date?

You can share them with us via email to Angela Carter, acarter@nhregister.com or call 203-789-5752 or post on our Facebook page. Or, feel free to share your experiences and tips on this blog post.

Responses are starting to come in and we're enjoying your stories very much. So, keep them coming and we'll be sharing them with our readers.

In the meantime, live and love!
