We met when he came to my office for some additional technical training. He is a Technical Service Manager for his company and they are are a major distributor in the UK for the sound equipment that we manufacture here in the USA. I got to meet him because I am a Sales Adminstrator for our company and we had formal email conversations regarding sales, etc. Until we met anyway. We shook hands funny - we were in love at first sight. He was at my company for a week and the day he left, something made me turn around and outside of my office he was walking away from me and turned to look at me at the same time I looked at him. Very weird and we left it at that. That was on a Friday. On Monday, I received an email telling me of his trip back home and we haven't missed an email a day since. We're hooked on each other and cannot wait to finally be together for good!

One of the first comments - because I didn't know if he was even married or not and I had all but given up on men - was that he was my Knight in Shining Armour. His comment was that the armour was rusty and the horse was dead. Who knew that we would have come this far so quickly! :thumbs:

We first met in the US on Valentines Day 2002 (L) .

I flew to San Francisco as Ken was working there. My sons thought I had gone totally crazy as they were sure he was an axe murderer or something sinister!!

In the 2 years that followed, I came to the US 7 times for a total of 10 glorious months and Ken came to see me in the UK twice during the K1 processing time.

The first time we met in person was in NAIA airport in Manila Philippines. I was so nervous waiting for him in the arrival waiting area. When I saw him and he looks at me I feel like the time stops and feel like everything slows down (L) like in the movie when you want to embrace him but its very slow although you were both running :lol: Funny but true... thats how I felt that time.

Everytime my friends asked me how's the feeling when I first saw Paul this was my answer and everybody will laugh :luv:

Gretchen and i met physically outside the Davao International Airport terminal. I flew there to visit her. I saw her about 20 feet away from me, walking shyly towards me so i could find her in the crowd. She was so beautiful, more so than i ever seen any woman. When i looked at her i knew i had really found the love of my life and it wasnt a dream. we were inseparable for the two weeks i was there and cant wait to continue our lives in person after her visa is in hand.
