I was in Germany on a school exchange program for 10 weeks. Dh was a friend of my host sister. I was 17, Dh 16. Pretty immature, but a mutual friend ended up bringing us together after he found that we liked each other... dh and I were only together for 3 weeks before i had to return home. Then after a 1.5 year long-distance relationship with us both taking in turns to travel to Oz and Germany every 6 months Dh moved to Australia to be with me and proposed. We lived together for 1.5 years in Oz, then we married... Moved to Germany so Dh could go to Uni.. And then decided to start a family. We have been married for almost 3 years now. together for almost 6. WOW! how time flies!!
I still cannot believe how on earth we were able to make such a huge decision to stay together, being so young. Ahhhh Love.
I had half heartedly put an advert onto RSVP thinking it will come to nothing, I got a few replies but nothing stood out from the crowds until one day in October 2002 an email came in from a single father of two who lives on a dairy farm, just the email alone made my heart skip a beat, I could see myself marrying this man even though I had never met him plus I did say on my advert no single fathers but he ignored that which to this day he`s not sure why!!
It took me a few days to respond as I felt all hot and clammy thinking this is it this is my furture husband - how did I know I have no idea.
I replied to cowman as he called himself on RSVP and got a reply back quite quickly.
We emailed each other for 3 months before meeting for the first time on 31st January 2003, he`d been single for 5 years by choice as he wanted his boys to have a stable father.
Love blossomed (even though I was scared of by his first kiss and declaring his love for me just after our 4 th date), we got engaged 7 months after meeting and married exactly a year after we first met in person.
Mark has told me on many occasions he also knew I was the one just by reading my profile on RSVP, he said he had looked at quite a number but mine stood out but he didn`t respond to my ad for 1 month as I hadn`t been on RSVP so he thought I was seeing someone but as soon as he saw I had logged on he got the courage to reply - I hadn`t logged onto rsvp for 1 month as I had been quite sick with the flu. Then when Mark didn`t hear back from me he was quite disapointed so sent another woman a message then 5 minutes later my reply to his email came into his inbox.
It`s really spooky how we both knew we were going to be together I even began thinking of children when Mark`s email came in yet years before then I was never going to marry or have children but here I am wife, step mummy and mummy to my two precious boys
