Hi Jo. :)

I met my fiance on the Iron Maiden website which he runs for the band. I was a a lowly fan chatting in the forum and he was bored one day and started to talk to me. He added me to his ICQ list on August 26th 2000 and within two weeks we were smitten. It was tough because he lived in Australia, me in London and we didn\'t think anything could come of it. We were online every day for hours, on the phone every night for atleast an hour - often alot longer - took piccies on our web cams, had web conferences, anything to keep in touch. As it happened we got lucky because he had to come over in October as the band were touring. So we got to meet for the first time on October 28th 2000, had the best two weeks of our lives together, and then said goodbye again. :(

We carried on as we had done before, knowing that we were definately meant to be with each other, and in February he flew over to be with me for Valentines Day. :) This time he satyed with myself and Mum and Dad, so they got to know him properly, as did all of my mates. As I said goodbye to him at Heathrow for a second time I decided I could wait no longer and made my mind up to get out here asap. I flew out on May 5th, arrived May 7th, and we got engaged on May 10th! (He had asked me long before that though!) We are to be married on Friday 28th June 2002. :D
