A Tale Of Two Countries

Some things in life are just meant to be. It has been said that each one of us has a soul mate, the person god has made special for each and every one of us. Unfortunately, we don't particularly know when we will find this love, it just happens. You could meet the love of your life in a grocery store, in college, perhaps it might be a friend of a friend. All of our stories are different, and unique. Within the past few years I have been able to witness one union that is profound in the way that it has touched my heart.

Marc & Monica met in Mexico City. Marc was partly on vacation while in attendance of his cousins wedding. When they met, little did they know that by exchanging email information they were going to be engaged three years later. Marc & Monica mildly kept in contact through email but soon lost touch. It is funny how technology has played a large part in their life because soon they found each other again and hit it off by means of instant messenger. There life was changing with each conversation. Marc & Monica decided they would meet in Argentina. Within the time they finally got to spend together, it was known that they had something special.

How was this to happen, Marc lived in New Orleans where Monica lived in Colombia. Each hard at work, Marc having a strong business of his own and Monica studying her lifelong dream of fashion, it was hard but possible. This was something worth working for. While fate was on their side, a separation of miles would be difficult. A strong commitment to each other was going to be an important factor, if this was going to work. Through the years, meeting in different places and communicating through various forms of technology, their love grew stronger. It was finally time to start their life together.

About a month ago, Marc flew to Colombia for a visit where he would make Monica the happiest woman in the world. He thought to himself, "I always felt that it was impersonal for people to propose in a restaurant. Well as plans normally change, Marc & Monica went out for dinner to a restaurant that was uxepectidly very familiar to the stages of their early beginnings. It couldn't be any more perfect, people cleared the restaurant and the time was right. Marc said, "Mi Amor' and presented the ring to her. While I am privileged to know more details of this beautiful story, I will leave you with your imagination.

My final words are that I am extremely happy for this young couple who are very special to me. They are now in the planning stages of their wedding that will be held in Colombia where I feel lucky that I get to attend. For all that are reading, I hope that you get to experience something as beautiful as this!
