We are an ordinary married couple, I am 37 and from the US and she is 32 and from Cebu, Philippines. We have been
married for 5 years presently. We met through a friend of hers, she and I were both skeptical about the distance between
us and both being from other countries. Once we talked for the first time I knew she was different from any lady I met here
in the US. We could talk for hours and never run out of things to say to each other.
After talking and chatting for a few weeks we decided we wanted to meet and see if we get along as well in person as we
did talking and chatting. I went to the Philippines on February 15th, I wanted to be there on the 14th for Valentines day but
flight delays changed my plans. When I arrived in Cebu I was greeted by her and many family members. It was kind of a
cultural shock to me at first. I was also a little scared getting in a van with all these people and not really knowing them.
Everything turned out fine and everyone was so friendly to me.
Dating in the Philippines was also different, each family has there own beliefs. My wives family was more traditional and
believed in her having a chaperon. Which I respected and actually thought was a neat tradition and not really practiced
anymore here in the US. The first time we met I stayed 30 days after I stayed there 21 days I had to go file a extension to
stay the additional days. That wasn't hard at all I just went to a travel agency and they handled that for me.
