Story

How we first met was the most captivating moment in our life. The first time I saw my precious carnelian, we were in secondary school during break time and she was standing right in front of me. I remember that I was glancing over at her and thinking, OMG! she is so beautiful. Should I approach her, say something, or just do nothing; of course, she did not realize that I was gazing at her.

After a couple of years, she became close to my sister and that was how I was introduced to her. We started talking over the phone and we started connecting until I lost contact with her when I left my country in 2014 for the US and she eventually faded into the missed connection category. A few years later, two or one month before she arrives in the USA, unexpectedly, she texted me saying, 'Hello! I am coming to the USA'. We hit it off like nothing ever changed.

Tidbits

What was your most memorable date?

We spent one of our dates in Wolfe's Neck Woods State Park. in Freeport, enjoying the ocean view, and nature. We even picnicked in the woods. We enjoyed our time so much and discovered the beauty of nature. Nothing can be louder than the silent words of nature, and we kept everything that nature foretold about us that day. This remained our first and most memorable date.
