Our Romance We first met in September, 2002 in our freshman year of college. I spotted him from across a crowded room where he was talking with an acquaintance of mine. I took advantage of this acquaintance to introduce myself to this red-headed mystery man. When I reached out my hand to shake his, he surprised me (and himself) by kissing it! When I then asked if that's how he greets all women the first time he meets them, he responded that he had never thought to do so before meeting me. We have lived together in Brooklyn, Hoboken, and various locations in China since 2007. Currently, we teach English at a health college in Suzhou, China and are students of Mandarin Chinese at Soochow University in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, China. Our Future After the wedding, we are planning to return to China for one more year to finish studying and decide how best to utilize our new language fluency. Although we love China and our dear friends here, we plan to settle down back in the United States in the future. Suggestions for where to settle specifically are welcomed.
