We meet in Krasnodar on a beautiful September Saturday evening. We went to a quaint little restaurant and got to know each other-- your normal first date evening. I rented a car and we went to the Black Sea for a few days. I left a week later but we stayed in contact with each other through emails and SMS. We became very serious in December (isn't Skype a great program?) and I went back in February and asked her mother for your daughter's hand in marriage.
