My name is Svetlana. I am writing my story from Orlando, USA, where I live with my husband Eric. Only three years ago I was living in Russia in the fine city of St. Petersburg. I miss this city, but on the other hand I am very happy that I live together with Eric in his home country.
We met through your marriage agency, just like many other couples. There are three married couples among our friends that also met through your marriage agency. To say the truth, I never thought that one could meet a man through the Internet, by correspondence, and, moreover, from a different country! But I decided to try my luck and submitted my profile.
I wrote a reply saying that I would definitely enjoy getting to know him better. We decided to spend Christmas and New Year together. Then there were the endless days of preparing visa, foreign passport and tickets. On December the 22nd I finally boarded the plane, and he met me in the airport. We went to his place.
Of course, American life seemed different at once. I came on holiday eve, and the streets were full of love and romance. The very same evening we went to walk on the city streets, had a meal in the restaurant, and visited many other places. I was impressed by the looks, the behavior and the restraint that Eric showed. He was also very happy that at last a girl was not scared off, trusted him and went to visit him.
We celebrated Christmas with his family. He has wonderful parents, a brogher and a sister. It was an amazing time in my life. On New Year, it was just the two of us in a country house of Erics family. I also liked it very much there - the nature, the air, and the festive mood both of us were in all created an unforgettable atmosphere.
I was sorry that I had to leave so soon - on the 3rd of January. However, I was sure that I would be back soon. Eric said that I would be able to move to his place shortly. I had no doubts that there were no alternatives. In the end of April Eric came to St. Petersburg to help me move. We were together in my home city, but we had enough time to have fun and to walk around. I bade farewell to my city, where I left my childhood, my family and friends. Yet I was sure that it was happiness waiting for me. I was right! I am very happy, and so is Eric. We feel great together; we became the closest people for each other!
