FROM THE BRIDE:" TIM AND I MET WHILE STUDYING ABROAD IN AMERICA. THE FIRST WEEK OF CLASSES, HIS ROOMMATES INVITED ME AND SOME OTHER GIRLS IN OUR PROGRAM OVER TO COOK A BIG DINNER, AND WE WERE INSTANTLY ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER. I REMEMBER EVERY NIGHT WE WERE OUT WITH FRIENDS FROM OUR PROGRAM. I'D BE HOPING FOR HIM TO SHOW UP. THE MORE TIME WE SPENT TOGETHER, OFTER SIPPING WINE ON HIS HOUSE, DANCING ALL NIGHT WITH FRIENDS, OR FLIRTING IN CLASS, WE BOTH REALIZED WE DIDN'T WANT THINGS TO END. AFTER YEARS OF DATING WE GOT ENGAGED! FINALLY!"
