Ummm, do you mean the first time you met in person, because you have to meet before you use a visa to bring your loved one over.

It's a challenge, but I'll never forget walking out the door of the Cairo airport, dragging my suitcases and exhausted after 20+ hours on the planes and in the airports. My future husband was standing beside the door and with that first hug, all my tiredness vanished :luv:

Of course, after the initial giddiness of meeting, you have a lot to work through, but that's life.

Quite different. Casey only had one pic that was 2 yrs old and another that was older. He did not have a webcam so I was in the dark. When we met I did not recognize him right away. He looked like he said he did and similar to his pics but enough of a difference that I was not totally sure it was him until he came up to me lol.

my husband was soo much more sexier in reality than pic. his pic did him no justice.. :D

same thing for nessa. but i will say that webcams don't do justice for her, and i was even more suprised to see that she was skinnier than i thought in person as compared to cam.

Unless you already have nekkid pics, there's bound to be something to be seen that you haven't seen before. :whistle:

I had seen tonnes of pics and videos of Toran before we met- but he still looked different in person! shorter and way skinnier than I thought! oh and he had these BRIGHT orange trousers on!! I was initially thinking' oh god what have I done?!' as it can be a shock when the image isnt EXACTLY how you imagined- I kind of felt like it wasnt even him in a weird way. But as soon as the nerves started to fade, and the personality I loved so much started showing, I realised he was EXACTLY who I knew him to be- and the stupid things didnt matter anymore. :D

*nod* It was amazing seeing Luis for the first time, so handsome and tall and so sweet! He was all I expected and much more, perfect! No wonder we´re still together. :P

Canuck, Luis has the same height and me too thought "Dang" at my mere 5'3"
