I like reading the stories on here - there is someone in every possible stage. It gives me hope that I will have many years with my husband.
As for me, I was simply looking for people to chat to on Myspace - following my daughter in her on-line exploits to 'keep an eye' on here - and she looked for british guys, so I did.
It was great to chat to him, as i keep telling him, as we got to know each other initially and fully before a picture was sent or seen. By the time a photo was exchanged, we
;Dwere 'dating' and when he surprised me with a ticket to the UK to see him, I was not sure if I should take him up on it.
i am glad I did.
I knew the minute I met him at the arrivals gate. I knew before that ,through his personality and the way he seemed very smart about things that i was not, and we matched well with our personalities.
As for the accent, it did not occur to me that he wouild have one until 10 minutes before our very first phone conversation. It was a very nervous 10 minutes, and I sat there and suddenly came to the conclusion that 'hey! he is british and there fore will have an accent!'. I did tell him this but he even likes my blonde moments.
I think we are lucky because we fell in love through talking, went through many hard moments of one of us puting the other one on a plane, and then driving home to empty houses to go back to internet chats. Now, we are very aware of how lucky we are - being able to be in the same country and house - now for the next two years at least.
we just got back from our honeymoon, got married December 1st.
I thank everyone on here for sharing stories and being a part of this community.
