Giedre and Peter

Sometimes when I havent been expecting it was the most marvelous time of my life.

When I was going to work in Sweden in a hotel my main purpose was to earn some money but I really was not expecting to find someone I will share the rest of my life with. I was studying pedagogic but I just thought it would be great to earn some money during the summer holidays. When I arrived in Sweden I somehow differed from others. It was strange and uncomfortable to be there where you havent been ever before as I felt very lonely. I was unfamiliar with the culture and customs of the region. To tell the truth, I felt so lonely not having my family or friends close that all I wanted to do was to cry. I thought that I will never grow fond of this land. However, time was passing and I found my visit days more and more terrific. The feeling of loneliness was gone by now and I felt warm feelings for this country, its people and customs. I simply got used to the life here. Finally I was able to confess myself that I love this country. I met so many nice people who just helped me to get used to the new surrounding. They understood how lonely I must be here and they did all they could to make me feel like at home. One of those people was a kind and nice man who was going sometimes to my country on business. He somehow differed from all others or maybe just my feelings for hi was different from the way I felt about all others. But then I wasnt sure what it was that I felt. I hadnt then enough time to find that out. The summer was gone soon and I had to go back home. I was happy again to hug my family and friends but I just couldnt stop thinking about my visit in Sweden. Those were wonderful days that Ive spent there. I realized that my purpose to earn some money became something more than just that as I found one man who was very close to my heart. I was thinking about him quite often. His name was Peter and he was the same one was going to my country on business.

So now being at home I started feeling some strange feelings of loneliness. I could not understand what was wrong as I was at home, surrounded by my loved people, however, the heart was not still. I became aware that it might be that strange feeling I had for Peter in Sweden. As I later find out I was not wrong. Anyway, I decided to do something so that I wouldnt feel so lonely and sad. I decided to join the dating service and maybe find my soul mate, friend and partner for life. I wanted to be happy again. I was thinking that if I will find him, that special one, my life would change into wonderful.

Thus, one day I registered in the service and the first country on my mind where I wanted to find a man was Sweden. I just wanted to search some man from there. Yes, I succeeded in my search. I have found a lovely man. After some time of communication I already had feelings for him. You wont believe this but I found him. I found my dear Peter. I just wrote a letter to him telling how much I missed seeing him. It was more than amazing when I received a letter from him. I was so happy. We have exchanged tens of letters and the more I wrote to him the closer to him I grew. He told me that he fells the same for me. We now were the best and closest friends but it was obvious that we have more than just friendly feelings for each other. We started to talk on the phone and our conversations became so long that there was no reason to continue them. He came to my country to visit me. I remember this day very clear till now and I never will forget how happy those moments were. After this visit we both made a decision that we are destined to be together and we dont want to separate not even for an hour.

After a year from our acquaintance we were engaged. It seemed to be real as he always was talking about us and our future. He was making plans for us. There no longer was he and I but there were only WE now. I felt like in dream or like in a fairy tale. I never thought or expected that something like that will happen to me-to a simple girl who came to Sweden just to earn some money and found her love. No I am not dreaming. It just found my luck and love.

Our weddings were the same summer as we have engaged.

I am very happy now and I know that no matter how far you are from the person that might be your soul mate youll find him sooner or later. The destiny exists and destiny will take you both together.
