I met the girlfriend I had met online in Tagaytay on Sept 1. I vacationed there with her, her mom and cousin and we had a great time. The chemistry between my girlfriend and I became soon evident in person. It didn't take long to fall in love and see how I had found a really great woman and the right one for me.
After asking her parents' permission to marry her, I rode the zipline at Picnic Grove and then got down on one knee and asked her to become my wife on Sept 4th and she accepted. The proposal caught her by surprise and was an amazing moment for both of us. A few days later we returned to her home to meet the rest of her family and we had a nice engagement party there and also fun at the nearby seashore. The two of us then got away to a beach resort in Puerto Galera to spend time alone and continue to enjoy each other's company. We then returned to Manila to spend a day there and say goodbye as the hotel driver dropped me off at the airport.
I can honestly say I hit a home run with this woman. She is both lovely and loving. She is very young at heart yet caring and rational. She is 21 and beautiful yet humble. Her family was very kind and I got along with them great.
I'm so glad I took this leap of faith and I look forward to getting her and bringing her to the US (approximately 5-6 months I hope) so that she can get to know my two daughters and we can get married. I need to give my sincere thanks to the people who had my back on taking this chance - a few personal friends and family and also Pete from these forums have been great to me with their support.
I'll include a few pictures here as they will tell a better story than I possibly could. It was a trip that I will never forget and I feel in my heart this is a great start to the prosperous marriage we can have in America. Take care all and I hope this inspires someone else who is marriage-minded on here to take a similar leap of faith.
