March 2011 Filers..

[Jacque and Gerry 5]

I was surprised too,then when I saw that the beneficiary was from Haiti my excitment dropped below zero..

Ok, whats the difference with Haiti?

[Nemata Musa 5]

I was thinking of planning a wedding,but i decided to wait until we recieve our approval letter...lol..I definatley agree with you all, long distance is not romantic..sometimes i really don't know how we do it,i guess it just God blessing and some support from love ones...The only way it get romantic is when both people are together.

Japanese and Haitian beneficiaries, due to the situation in their countries tend to be approved faster,even without expedite requests. I hope VSC will prove me wrong and start approving other March filers..I really hope..

Okay, I KNOW it's no fun to be in a long distance relationship, and that there's no reason to romanticize it and make it out to be something that it's not. I also know that the little things that most people take for granted are exactly the kind of normalcy that we crave when we are apart, but there ARE things you can do when you're apart to make it more romantic, and fun.

Stuart and I send each other romantic love letters through the mail, on fancy papers even. (I perfume mine too!) It's so fun to run to the mailbox and see if we have mail! We download the same movie and start it at exactly the same time to watch it together. We wake each other up each morning, and say goodnight to each other every night on the phone, sometimes even falling asleep together. (I love to listen to him breathe!) We leave things for each other to find after we go. (I tried to leave a nightie for him once but he thought I missed it in packing and it ended up coming home with me, but I can't tell you how awesome it is to have something of each others to hold and smell them on it, so a sweater is perfect as you can put it on if it's his, or snuggle it if it's hers) When Stuart opens up his medicine cabinet, he sees my toothbrush, and can picture me there with him. When I open up my sock drawer, I see a pair of his socks and it makes me think of him. We talk a few hours a day (unlimited north america plan, or would be a 4000$ a month phone bill) and we play games against each other on the computer. (I kick his #### at skype Chinese Checkers!) He sings me love songs, and I sing goofy ones back to him We've bought the same groceries and ingredients, and used the same recipes and shared the same meals together, even decorating the table in the same way.

So get creative, and share on here the things you do to make it as romantic as possible while you are apart, I'm sure we all have some great ideas.

As to planning the wedding, yes, we make some preliminary plans... I already have my dress, shoes and necklace, and we have a few options that we are looking at. Our favourite is totally dependent on if we can buy a house we both fell in love with when I was there last, and that's IF it's still for sale when I sell mine here in order to come up with the downpayment for it. It overlooks the water and has a deck right on the river that we'd be crazy not to set up there, the views are amazing there. We'd hire a barbeque caterer to roast a pig and corn for us, and bring in musicians. If we can't get that house, then there's a place we went to for drinks that offers wedding and reception services, and it should be able to accommodate us even at short notice given the time of year we'll be looking, I have to sell my house and waiting for Montreal, I'm crazy to think that I'll get my visa before september, and have my house sold too, so maybe a Halloween wedding even? Who knows?

So share some stories, and wedding ideas on here, lets's make this a fun group, while you're at it, share how you met too... Stuart and I met playing an online game called Evony, it had a chat function... he was chatting to some people and I thought he was funny so I said hi to him, we started chatting more and it just went on from there. Cupid had a malfunction that day, one of his arrows veered WAAAAY off course!

That's true, it's not like the movies but it still a good thing this kind of relationship. People just shouldn't go crazy over it lol

He sings me love songs, and I sing goofy ones back to him We've bought the same groceries and ingredients, and used the same recipes and shared the same meals together, even decorating the table in the same way.

Matt and I share a lot of things too, he's always teaching me something new, about his neighborhood (never been there), his work, his family. We have our own game that we play when we're bored, helps a lot though lol He tries to find the brazilian food and drinks there, and I try to find stuff he likes to eat and drink here.

Everytime he comes to Brazil he leaves with me a shirt that he wore during our last day together, so it has his smell in it. I always leave something important with him too, last time was a special ring I had and it became the one he used to propose me! ... plus few other things.

Cupid had a malfunction that day, one of his arrows veered WAAAAY off course!

It's hard to start planning by now, especially because we don't know when we'll be approved. But I started seeing which dress I like the most, I already found one. Actually I have a few options, lol can't get enough of that! Also been learning a lot about the traditions over there, how to make a real american wedding and I'm loving it, discovering new things and sharing all of that with him it's great. We decided the colors has a long time too, and that'll be a small ceremony and reception. Hopefully I can get to marry in October/November, so the wheater will be nice still. Winter for me is ARGH! I'm from summer land, hot sun, beaches and sand..

We met online, in a chatroom... became friends, would talk everyday for hours and hours and after a few months talking, we realized love was in the air lol After that, 2/3 months later, we finally met in person and our relationship became official.

Share you story, people! Let's make this thread the best one!

I had my honey leave me a shirt also. Glad I'm not the only one!!!

yes there are indeed some romantic things that even us, the weird long relationship couples, can do i have a tshirt of his and i sleep with it at night so i can feel his perfume or else is very hard for me to sleep, cause since we were togheter i feel that something is missing everytime i go to sleep. we dont talk on the phone, cause damn romania doesnt really have a service that we can afford for international calls, so that will be missing from my interview packet.

and thea, u actually gave me a great idea for the small wedding. never thought to buy my dress before i get there ^__^ it sounds so awsome. ill better start looking at something old victorian and creepy if someone ever thought to put black dresses in stores.........

[Stuart and Thea 95]

Do you use Skype or Gmail to talk over the computer?

I don't call my man either, we use skype, free So, you won't be the only one missing this for the interview. Brazil also sucks with service calls lol

I am not buying my dress before, I want to choose and go to the store try it on. Guess it'll be hard to find a dress like this, try houseofbrides.com, davidsbridal.com or theknot.com (I use this one the most lol )

Good luck

I couldn't sleep without wearing his sweat shirt every night too and I guess I have to keep wearing it until his back in my arms cos it feels like something is missing when I don't have a piece of him every time I close my eyes at night. He left 2 of his shirts, and I use it every night and there are times that I press my body against it too tight just to really feel it. It may sound silly but I did not wash his shirt for a month just to keep his scent. Oh boy, I miss him so bad. :wacko:

Not silly at all. My fiance and I went over a year without seeing each other in person and I slept with his shirt that whole year and never washed it.
