They met on Match.com as Paul was living in Okinawa. Japan and Verity was in Murrieta, Ca. They decided to keep in touch in order to see if they had a spark; There was. Verity planned a trip to Okinawa to meet Paul for his birthday in May 2015, however, within a few weeks Paul chose to fly back home to Murrieta in order to meet Verity in October 2014. Things went great! Six weeks later, he flew her to Okinawa for three weeks exploring the island, getting to know one other further, and sharing a New Year's across the Pacific! They repeated the process in May of 2015 (the original plan) and the rest is history! They truly are best friends and cannot wait to seal the deal and tie the knot.
