will try and figure out timeline but in short I was a foreign exchange student in 1990 and sat next to this girl in U.S Government 12th grade. I thought she was cute and she me but we were just friends, 2010 came back working in florida and took a trip to my old town in virginia to catch up with my football (soccer) mates and met this girl again. 14 months later after a few trips back and forth I proposed Christmas eve and married New Years eve. Guess it sounds either like a movie or madness!
