Meet in November 2006 on my visit to London.. and hit it off. Did long distance for exactly one year before I relocated to the UK to be with the one I love. Moved back to Calif. in February 2011 to set up house for us. Richie joined in June 2011 and we married on August 27, 2011 :-)
We are acutally planning for Jan 14, 2012, we applied in December 2010 so we should be OK given your timeline We are getting married near you in San Juan Capistrano! I had a great trip, it was nice to be home.
