Tom and I met at a party at UCLA when I was a student there and Tom was a student at CSUN. We immediately started going out, and when he told me he would be going to Spain for three months that summer, I decided to go visit him for a month during his trip. I went to Germany several times after that and have been working on my German, since his mom and grandma don't speak English. We've been together for 2.5 years, and we feel it's time to get married and officially start our lives together...in the same country.
