Well, I finally did it. Yesterday Oct. 3, 2004 I got married. We met almost 5 years ago over the Internet. She was from Hong Kong I live here in Florida. I was just sitting in front of my computer and over my ICQ she contacted me for the first time back in January of 2000. It's funny but every weekend she was there wanting to chat. I asked her how she found me and she said she liked the name Tom and wanted to practice her English skills so she did a search for Tom in USA and ended up with me. The more we chatted the more we found out how many things we had in common. In September of 2003 I was ready for a vacation and decided to go and meet her in Hong Kong. Well it was love at first site and we had a great time together. It was very hard to leave not knowing what was going to happen next. Not even sure if we would see eachother again. A year later she came to Florida for a vacation and again we had a great time together and again when she left I had that same feeling of loss. To make a long story short she ended up moving here about 3 months ago and you know the rest. It really goes to show just how small this tiny blue dot of world is thanks to the Internet. Here are a few photos of my bride both in Western and Chinese Wedding dress. Taken with the E-1. Hope you enjoy.

Congrats!!!!
I too had a long distance relationship.. I met Karl in Jamaica, and went back a year later after phone calls and letters for a year. Then he came here for a visit 6 months later, then I went there 6 months after that. That brings us to Jan. '88. Then I moved there in May, and we were married there in July.
We just celebrated 16 years together!
I wish you both every happiness!
:)
