I think This Couple Need to Join Visa Journey

[Girl from Celebes 588]

Got my eye. Maybe a proxy marriage doesn't apply after thought they probably have consumed theirs already, what do you think?

love-struck couple who got married via video link because they live 3,500 miles apart have finally shared their first kiss - three months after the big day.

Syed Islam, from Southampton, Hants, and his blushing bride Monira Chowdhury, from Pennsylvania, America, both 28, had only met face-to-face for ten minutes as children.

Years later they were reunited during a series of internet video Skype sessions in which they fell head over heels in love.

Together at last: Syed Islam and Monira Chowdhury married via video link because they live 3,500 miles apart, and finally shared their first kiss three months after their wedding

Looking to the future: They hope to have a party in Bangladesh next year, so they can celebrate their wedding with more relatives

With friends and family watching on both sides of the Atlantic, the couple donned traditional outfits for the internet wedding in September.

Now more than 100 days later, the couple have finally met as husband and wife after Monira moved to England.

Syed, 28, who is studying business administration at Solent University in Southampton, said: 'I went to meet her at Heathrow Airport and hugged her when I saw her.

'At first she was a bit shy, but after that it was very normal. It was very exciting to see her.

'I know the marriage was unusual but I could say the distance doesn't matter in the modern world.

'People can share their lives through modern technology.

'We talked to each other on Skype all the time, we discussed my views and her views and it all came together at one point and we decided to marry.

'There are three things that are very important - trust, honesty and faith and we have all these three things, so we will definitely be a very happy couple.'

Monira, 28, added: 'He was exactly how I expected him to be - he's a very good person and we're getting on very well.

'We're very committed to each other.' The couple met after they were introduced to each other by Syed's mother-in-law.

They hope to have a party in Bangladesh, where Syed originates from, next year, when they will celebrate their wedding with more relatives.

For now, Syed has introduced Monira to his family in Southampton and hopes to take her on a sightseeing tour of the UK, before she returns to America in April.

Syed hopes to follow soon afterwards when they plan to settle down.

He added: 'We're very happy together and that is the main thing.'

Proxy marriages aren't valid in PA. I think they are in for an uphill battle without another wedding.
