For those ladies still skeptical about online dating, look to Essence Atkins for inspiration. The actress, who starred on the long-running shows “Smart Guy” and “Half & Half” and stole scenes in the comedic films “How High” and “Dance Flick,” is set to wed later this month, just 19 months after finding her boyfriend on a dating website.

Congratulations to them and if looking for love, take a chance here.
No photos of her new man have surfaced yet, but here’s a few of Essence and two of her best friends you just may recognize:
