I'm 26 years old and she is 24. I used to be this girl's supervisor when we worked at six flags 7 years ago. We had an obvious connection and we went out a couple of times. But out of nowhere she quit her job and disappeared without even saying goodbye, and a year after that I quit my job and went to Art School. After that in 2005 I became a medic and joined the military for some reason ill never know, and then moved to Germany. During my first deployment to Iraq in 2006 I got a letter and it was from her. I was extremely surprised! It turns out that she got a hold of one of my friends that worked at Six flags and he gave her my military address. And the reason she left San Antonio was cause her dad was in the airforce and was shipped off to South Carolina so of course she had to go. So the next 4 years we just stayed in contact from whatever part of the world we were in at that time, either by email or a call every now and then. Yeah of course in that period we both saw other people; common I was living in freakin Europe! I had to explore all the possibilities! And I had tons of fun doing it! I traveled all over Europe and Asia doing everything you could possibly think of. It wasnt till my second deployment to Iraq that we started to get more serious with each other. She was living in St Louis going to college at the time and I was in a small and desolate town two hours south of Baghdad working at a level 1 aid station. Life was so miserable there that anything that reminded me of home made me feel better. I have a lot of friends and a lot of family but it was her that put in the most effort. Even in my wost possible moment, she knew exactly what to say. When I finally got out of that ish place and went back to Germany, I got orders to move to New Mexico to work in a clinic at white sands missile range. And she moved to Charleston SC to work at a pharmacy. I moved to white sands in october of 09. In that same month I took leave and flew to Charleston to visit her. And thats when I popped the question, and she immediately said yes. Sometimes I would visit her and she would visit me here and everything is going amazingly! We are getting married in July. I got my cousin planning the wedding.......
So anybody got any advice for a couple of future newlyweds?
lol... yup
Wow, how many times have you watched "An officer and a Gentleman" ?
Anyway, Congratulations !!!!!
I don't know how you are going to avoid the rest of the 5 M's:
- you Meet
- you Mate
- you get Married
- she Moves in
- she gets Fat
My condolences.

Mooo
(she gets fat)
That was a set-up. Hes gonna have a kick ass one liner is response.
damn too late to warn him
damn i hope she dont get fat!
Advice: Don't bring up the past unless she already knows about it, sometimes women don't like to feel like the last notch on a carved up bed post. Other than that, it sounded like a cute story.
She knows just about everything about me!
Perhaps I missed it but who is moving to be with whom now?
She is moving in with me.
That's cool. I wish you two luck. All I can really say is give her space to make friends when she comes down so that she doesn't throw "I left all my friends to be with you" in your face.

paragraphs and cliff notes , i cant read that
Then she REALLY DOES love you, meaning you don't need our advice.
Although since she does love you, she might trust you to the point where she lets herself get fat. Keep an eye out for that and get her a gym membership or set up a personal gym.
Pen pals getting married.
Congratulations.
What's the most time you've spent together since you have been a couple? Have you ever lived together? (It seems not from the story.)
Everything changes when you move in together. Just remember that when you feel likea year from now.
I wish you the best of luck.
She sounds really, really ugly. Congratulations!

Congradulations, but I agree with the posters who say that you should live together first before you get married.
Pics or it didn't happen.
Also: What's the longest continuous amount of time that you've been in physical proximity to one another? It's easy to get along when you only see each other occasionally, but the real test is when you've been with each other for 6 months, seeing each other every or nearly every day. That's when all the super magic hollywood butterflies stuff goes out the window and you're left with someone you love or someone you can't stand being around.
I completely disagree with the people who say you should move in-together first though. Statistics show that couples are far less likely to stay together if they move in first, versus moving in upon marriage.
