Well, it all started here In Florida where I live. I had been through a bad breakup and trying to find true love. I had recently bought a new home and quite a large house, knowing that someday in the future I’d have a family to fill it! This was on October 16, and just one year later I found my soulmate!
I’m not one to sit around I truly make things happen. So, I went on a dating website for quite a while searching for love. After many failed attempts I finally found the person I was meant to be with.
I work for FPL as a lineman and I'd been through many hurricanes and working long hours. A phone call came to assist in the restoration of Puerto Rico, and of course, I jumped at the chance. So soon after I got on a plane for an island I’d never visited before to help these pore people get back on their feet.
Exactly 3 weeks prior I met my now wife back home, We went on a nice picnic and a simple coffee date. But something sparked me to pursue the amazing person. So literally our 4th date I invited her to come to visit me in Puerto Rico for a week, and it all started there.
After working 7 days a week 16 hrs a day I slowly found special feelings for this new found romance. We spent the week getting to know one another and becoming closer, and not to mention she was a military brat born in Puerto Rico when her the Chief father was in the Navy! So that alone held a place in her heart!
By the end of the week, I proclaimed my love for her, sitting on the famous wall from the battle forge built there to protect the Spanish from pirates.
After returning from Puerto Rico from 2 months of extreme hard restoration, I returned home to ask for her hand in marriage, knowing without a doubt this woman was meant for me! Now a year later a fairy tale romance and a fairy tale wedding in St Thomas, our lives are absolutely perfect, I couldn’t have dreamt a better life than what we have now!
It’s completely Amazing, to say the least!!
Happily,
Mark and Teresa J
