HUFFINGTON POST - Feb 9 - At age 45, Rochelle Peachey seized the idea that she'd been dreaming about and ran with it. She took to the web and launched ILoveYourAccent.com, a dating site that bridges the continental divide by bringing Brits and Americans together. "I brought in a web designer," she says, "but I didn't have $50,000 to hire a P.R. company. So I started blogging and posting on forums. Just before Valentine's Day, 2010, Rochelle got an invitation to talk about her website on the London TV show BBC Breakfast. "Within 20 minutes of the time I was on the air, people were signing up." Word started to spread, and today ILoveYourAccent.com has 10K members, nine marriages and three babies. Rochelle also finds herself occasionally doubling as a dating coach, interpreting the cultural differences that can sometimes get lost in translation.
