I met my love's sister while browsing through an online dating site. The sister had posted Fely's picture on the site, and responded after I viewed the profile. She then proceeded to tell me all about Fely. I liked what I was told and saw, so I sent Fely flowers, a letter, and a video I made for her all about me. From my viewpoint, I met Fely through the internet dating site, but from Fely's viewpoint, there was no internet involved, the first she knew of me was the flowers, letter, and video. It will be interesting if the CO asks us at the interview how we met.

We met online but really didn't think much of it until I go to Cagayan and my friend's wife called her. She and her Aunt came down to Iligan on my birthday to visit and bam...we have been together ever since.

My father's best friend was marrying my wife's aunt. Though, the aunt died in a car accident before they hitched. My father went to Viet Nam to visit his old war sites 'n things, his best friend asked him if he'd mind swinging by his aunt's family's home to deliver some money and goods to them out of grievance, he did, saw my now wife, got her email address, six months later my father was going back again, invited me, I then started writing her for a friend to show me around the city. We feel that it was fate brought on by her aunt, for if her aunt never died, we'd never have met.
