Aug.17,2009

My dad is working as a chef in a reefer ship and when Jamie my fiance

visited me last year in manila he never met him because my dad is still at work that time.

right now my father is enjoying his vacation...but he will leave the country again on Aug 29.

Jamie decided to talk to my dad to formally ask about marriage..

our only chance ..online proposal.. using the mic the camera and

with the loud speaker on.. he will ask my dad for my hand... gosh!

imagine.. i woke up very early 2am today so i could catch up

for his time in texas before he sleeps, to finish arranging

documents that he will send me, including researching about I-134..

and at the same time i'm checking VJ from time

to time if there is anybody who replied to our question..then waited for my dad to wake up to tell him

jamie wants to talk to him..

to make my noble short..sorry..long explanation hehe... :bonk:

they had a good conversation and i know both of them are really nervous..

my mom just smiled very noisy here earlier ...funny(both jamie and dad lost their tongue hehehe. lolz!)

my father gave us his blessings cool! and he told jamie to take care of me and love me.

im sooooo happy!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

aww congratulations :) 

It must've been so great :)

My fiance did the same thing lol he called my dad and they talked online, I was so nervous because my fiance left the country just a few weeks before. Me, introducing a boyfriend to my dad was one thing, and him asking my hand a few weeks later was another lol my dad was very surprised :D and he gave us our blessing as well..

I know how you must've felt when they had the conversation ^_^ and well, your dad's a great man for knowing what true love really is.

oh yeah, your dad works in a ship, so kind of like a long distance relationship with yoru mom, how did he react when he learned you were doing a long distance relationship too? Having our parents working overseas, they really know how it is hehe

Luke 18:27 Jesus said" what is impossible to men is possible with God."

Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.

All glory, praises, thanksgiving and admiration belong only to God.

as i was reading your story, i suddenly remembered ours, when my husband (then fiance) sent a letter to my parents telling them his pure and real intention of me. my husband never wrote any letter specially for a woman but he tried his best just to let my mom & and know how he fell in love with me and how much he really loves me. that was so nice, sweet and romantic of my hubby and i was so touched by it.

happy to hear bout your story...

congratulations and good luck on your visa journey!

My parents been married for more than 30 years now.. and still strong hehe they are always sweet to

each other..distance for them is never a problem..constant communication is the key..

I will always be Papa's girl, my father is the number one person who believes in me.

and for me he is the most wonderful father in the whole world for being responsible and loving.

so, when i told him about jamie's plan just last month.. hehe..that we are just waitng for the noa2

he still don't believe it.. haha!! until this morning..

my father always trust my judgement..wherever i will be happy he will support me so no problem..

i'm so touched when i heard jamie called my father papa gosh!

Papa's blessing is a gift for us..

i feel so lucky and i'm sharing my joy to all of you!

again, i thank you guys so much for being there from day one..

God bless us all in this visa journey!

My parents knew about our plans even before my now husband visited me in the Philippines. When it was time for him to talk to my parents of his intentions, he was sweating :)

My husband is a very funny man, and at the end of his "speech" he said he promised he would take care of me and beat me only on Fridays :) My father caught up with the joke and replied, "hey include the Sundays too" and we had a good laugh.

Congratulations and goodluck on the journey :)

My parents knew about our plans even before my now husband visited me in the Philippines. When it was time for him to talk to my parents of his intentions, he was sweating :)

My husband is a very funny man, and at the end of his "speech" he said he promised he would take care of me and beat me only on Fridays :) My father caught up with the joke and replied, "hey include the Sundays too" and we had a good laugh.

Congratulations and goodluck on the journey :)

hahaha!!! you made me laugh there lolz :bonk:

my fiance told my father the same thing he promised he would take care of me too minus the beating lolz!!

thank you for sharing sis!

God bless!
