Surprisingly we found each other online. I was on a couple of online dating websites at the time and suddenly Richard sends me a message on OKCupid. He came to me from the deep sea of the web. I kept seeing these gleaming brown eyes and childlike face but I could tell by his profile info that he was a responsible and hard working individual. He says he was drawn to me because my profile was similar and he found me alluring and mysterious. We spoke for a couple of weeks; had our first date at Harvard Square. We spoke for 5 hours and found we had sooooooo many things in common. It did not take long to realize that he was a very loving and kind man that shares the same values and beliefs of friendship and loyalty that I have so craved in people. We both went through tough heartbreaks and long periods of loneliness and we are still shocked that we were so close but never had the chance to meet before. Here we are 5 years later; finally about to make our vows to each other and form a strong bonding marriage. We thank everyone who has supported our relationship and hope to share this big commitment in our lives with all of you.
