Carmen and I met on May 12, 2006 while I was on a photography trip to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.
Two days later we had our first date at a local eatery where we talked and had a great time. I returned to the U.S. the following day, but Carmen stayed on my mind the whole time so I called her two days later. She was very excited that I called and we have talked everyday since. After an unbearable three months away from her I returned to visit and made the decision that this was the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. The rest is history! Just waiting for the government to do its thing.
