We met online through great providence and encouragement from my best friend! Best Friend Liz and her mom convinced Amanda to register with an online dating website in October 2012. Goce (living in California) contacted Amanda (living in Ohio) right before her trial month was up. We began talking and came to find out that Liz went to college with Goce in Virginia and they were good friends. In January 2013, we decided to meet in Berrien Springs, Michigan so Liz could have a reunion with a few college friends, and Amanda and Goce could meet. Amanda was very nervous and scared before the meeting, but Goce was confident and excited. The meeting went well and Goce came back to Ohio with Liz and Amanda, met Amanda's parents and spent the next day in Cincinnati at the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit. It was a blast, and after many flights back and forth to California and Ohio, Goce proposed in April on Muir Beach in San Francisco, Amanda moved to California in May, and we got married in Ohio in October 2013. What a whirlwind adventure that was nothing but blessed!
