These days, more sisters are turning to the Web to find romance and Hollywood starlets are no excpetion. Actress Essence Atkins ("Deliver Us From Eva", "Half & Half") reached for her laptop and managed to find love. The 37 year-old beauty met her beau, Jaime Mendez, on match.com and now the couple are planning their September 26th nuptials.

The couple met online after Atkins experienced a rough break up and was looking for new "out of the box" ways to meet someone. They first chatted through match.com on Valentines Day in 2008, had their first date on February 21, 2009 and became engaged exactly one year later.
