My beautiful fiance.

     More than anything in my life, I wanted to meet someone and feel that absolute certainty, that I had met a partner in life and love.

   My previous relationships, as nice as they were, had a common thread running through them; a gentle undercurrent of disappointment that I tried to silence .At the same time, I was trying to glean relationship wisdom from wherever I could, but it seemed like all the wise people were divided cleanly into two camps.  There were the people who said things like "Once you meet the right person it would be the clearest thing in the world" and from the other end I had people who said "Relationships are about compromise and sacrifices. If you break up with a woman who wasn't perfect you will regret it for the rest of your life". 

   It was a sunny day in August, when I finished with my work that afternoon and I went to visit my cousin. My cousin told me that she was hanging out with her friends at her place and I realized that was a good idea to go there and hang out with them. When I first met Sandy it was the scariest moment of my life; because from the moment I met her I knew that she would change my life. 
  Before her in my relationships I wasn't  paying that much attention, because I knew those are not going to last. When our eyes crossed together I felt something in my stomach. I can't explain that feeling even now. I start talking to her because I wanted to find out more about her and her life; I  mostly wanted to know if she was in a relationship. Thankfully she wasn't. I asked her if she wanted to date with me and I got an answer - a big "YES" with a beautiful smile on her face. After hours of talking and talking I had to go; because it was already five o'clock in the morning. Before I say good bye I grabbed her and gave her one of the biggest and most passionate kisses that I could ever give to a woman. As soon as I got home I couldn't sleep; I was thinking of that all night. I fell in love with her at first sight.

On our first date

   Now we have been together almost five years. We have been through a lot, nice days and bad days. Our first obstacle in our relationship came when I had been called by the army for my duty. Then we weren't together not even a year but our love was stronger than the distance and she had the patient to wait for me. That means a lot. I cant imagine any other girl doing the same thing. After the army we were together again and happy because we had each other besides us. 
   Life had even harder plans for us and the army wasn't the hardest one. After the crisis in Greece I had no job or a degree to find one. My family moved to the United States and I had to follow them for a better future. That future I built in my mind with her. When I left Greece I left my whole soul and my mind over there because of her. It was the hardest moment of my life. We stayed apart for another year; again our love was stronger than the distance and she came and visited me. When she came it was Thanksgiving and I had a surprise for her. I gave her an engagement ring and told her that I wanted her to be my wife and live with me for the rest of her life. On her face she had again the same beautiful smile when we had first met and with tears in her eyes she said yes.  

Here is when I gave her the ring

   Now I am trying to finish with her paperwork to bring her here and stay with me and I am not going to leave her alone never again in my life. I love her so much and I want her to be the mother of my kids; because a woman like Sandy Iwill never find again.
