John & Bogdana (Canada & Ukraine)
27 Aug 2013Dear EM, I am happy to announce that Bogdana and I were married on August 10th and August 11th of 2013. We married (civil status) at the Wedding Registry in Kyiv on August 10th, and our religious service was held on the 11th at the Frolevskyi Monastery in Kyiv followed by a wonderful reception for family and friends. Our religious service was so touching and so appropriate for us. We both wish to thank your agency for helping us with our journey to find each other. Profound, deep, tender, romantic, soul love are words that could begin to describe what we have found and what continues to grow each day. There is no greater joy than to share everything together. We started to communicate in January 2013 and initially met in Turkey and then spent every waking moment together in Kyiv on a few occasions. Prior to our first meeting our connection grew "old style" with lots of personal sharing via emails/love letters and online webcam connections via Skype. We are fortunate to live in a time where technology allows us to connect with others in such a manner for hours on end. From our first moment together, sparks flew and we fell deeply in love and things just grew and deepened from there. I can tell you that I am blessed to have such a giving and tender woman in my life, and to receive her 12 year old daughter as my step daughter is a gift from the Most High. The advice that I can give to others (both men and women) who wish to perhaps find a similar connection is to focus on 'one person' and give yourself and that person the opportunity to invite you into their inner world. Give yourself a chance and devote some time to opening to each other. Sincerity is always the key, and if you are sincere in your desire and you are both clear on what you wish to build then the sky is the limit. Blessings to all, John (Canada) and Bogdana (Ukraine)
