We met through a mutual friend and at that time it wasn't a big deal because he lived in a different country. We both have pages on blackplanet.com and we shared our user names, so we could communicate. We communicated more via notes/emails than we did via phone or in person (long distant relationship not top on my list). After a about six months or so we talked more and more on the phone. And we decided we wanted more out of the relationship (yeah your thinking what relationship and long distance at that). We began to fast and pray and seek GOD in the mist of all that we were doing. In June 2004, we were talking on the phone and he was like just spilling his heart out to me and out of the blue he proposed to me on the phone. I thought he was pulling my leg and just saying things. (And how do you propose over the phone, besides he never said anything about a ring or nothing about sending one) But I knew that I had prayed and asked GOD to send me this man and I needed to choose him.
He sent for me in December 2004 (now we had not seen each other in person since the November 2003, before he left) and I had the most wonderful visit. We are now soulmates, GOD has already blessed our marriage, we just need to do the rest. Because I would not dare do the shacking thing, we will marry immediately (1st Saturday after he arrives).
