At the beginning of August of last year, Mary Ann and I met through the international dating website, Cherry Blossoms. She actually found and messaged me first letting me know that she was interested in learning more about me. I really loved her profile, but I noticed that she was going through a divorce and I was hesitant to enter into a relationship. I was worried I'd fall in love with her and then she'd end up getting back together with her husband. However, by talking to her I realized that her relationship was definitely over. I decided to take a chance and see where things go. We hit it off immediately and became instant friends. We enjoyed talking to each other so much that we left the Cherry Blossoms website and began to Skype every day. We haven't missed talking to each other for even a single day since last August. No matter what we have going on in our lives that are 10,000 miles apart, we always make time for each other. After talking for a couple months, I decided I really wanted to meet her in person. I flew to Asia for the first time during my Thanksgiving break. I have always wanted to go to Singapore, but I didn't know anyone there. Now I got to visit a country I heard so many great things about and spend time with a woman I was falling in love with. After spending the week together, we knew we were perfect for each other. We continued to talk every day after I returned to the United States and once her divorce paperwork was finalized in January, I asked Mary Ann to move to the US and marry me. We submitted our fiance visa application at the beginning of February, but I couldn't stand being apart from her until it was approved. I decided to make another trip back to see her during Spring Break. We had the best time together and continued to fall deeper in love. We are hopeful that her visa will be approved this summer and she will be able to join me in the US where we will marry.
