PHOTOS: World's Largest Speed Dating Event

Moshpix: Groupon helped set a Guinness World Record Tuesday by organizing the largest speed dating event ever held. It all went down at the new Paris Club restaurant where 414 people completed 20 three-minute dates, breaking the original record of 313 daters. 500 people, split evenly between men and women, bought tickets to the event through Groupon, although we're told the women's tickets sold out much faster than the men's tickets. Were any love connections made? Each person checked off whether they were interested in an individual and checked the Web site Hurrydate.com the next day to see if there was a love connection.
