My Fiance and I met in 2003, while we were both working in Angola. I was there managing an NGO program for post-conflict development and he was there to start-up the country office for a medical service company. We met at a US Embassy Happy Hour but frankly, for a variety of reasons that didn't really have anything to do with him, I didn't think much of him at the time. After spending some time together with mutual friends, I realized my initial opinion of him was wrong and we eventually started hanging out together more and more. Almost four years later, we are engaged and awaiting a K-1 visa - hopefully in time for our May 24 wedding date! Unfortunately though, I had to move back to the States, so we have spent the last 17 months on different continents (he is still working in Angola), although luckily between work and vacations we have managed to see one another every 3-4 months.
