Paul and I had been on Elena's Models website for a little while and we feel extremely lucky that after communicating with other people we both were back at the same time. In July 2010 I was about to go for a 3-week vacation when I received an email from Paul. Both of us realized quickly that there was something real and that we liked each other. I hoped Paul would be still there and wanting to continue our communication after my 3-week absence... So imagine how happy and surprised I was to find a long and detailed letter from Paul with lots of photos on my return! Our contact moved from emails to phone calls and then to Skype; we quickly adapted to each others’ accents and styles and had no language barriers at all. In November we met up in Bangkok, Thailand, for an incredible first date that lasted two weeks. We deeply and quickly fell in love with each other and by the end of our vacation we had only one mutual decision to make, how soon we were going to get married! We lodged completed documents for my visa in December and received approval in May this year. During that time we planned and discussed a lot of things to action. Paul came to Ukraine in June to help me move and we had a great holiday in Kiev and Crimea for over a week in each place, and then went to meet my family and friends. Parties, celebrations and lots of nice words from family and friends, and then I packed my things and left with Paul for my new life in Australia. I have been enjoying Paul’s city of Sydney and my new country; Paul is a great guide and he showed me lots of places and things. My 9-year-old daughter and I have settled in well with absolutely no regrets but great appreciation for Elena’s Models website that could make such connections a reality and not just a dream. We married on the 1st October among family and friends and now I’m the happiest woman in the world finally finding my best friend and partner and the man of my dreams. Both of us looking back now can only advise to be upfront and honest with your profiles, photos and real expectations of your ideal partner, so that when you do find your perfect match, there won’t be tears later. Furthermore, it's very highly recommended that women like myself should seriously consider learning or strengthening their English skills. We highly recommend Elena’s Models as the best agency for these complex International romantic connections where trust and integrity are crucial and highly sought after. Thanks from Natalie and Paul!
