Long love story short. I grew up in Montana and her in northern Japan. We both dreamt, prayed and wished we would find someone special in another country since we were kids. I always have been fascinated by Japan since I was a boy and always knew deep down I wanted to marry someone from Japan as I always found asian women so naturally beautiful and she always wanted to find and be with a foreign man from America or England as she never cared for local Japanese men, they tend to not be emotional and not very talkative which she ha
tes.
We found eachother through a foreign language exchange website last February as I wanted to learn more Japanese to travel to Japan for ufn after I broke up with my last ex and she wanted to practice more English to travel and find better work. Rather, she found and reached out to me on the website as I totally forgot I signed up for it back in 2017 after being laid off from my last job during Christmas and needing surgery for bad carpal tunnel in my hand. Needless to say, it was a total surprise out of the blue after a really rough holiday to get a very sweet message from a lovely and sweet lady from Japan. Needless to say we quickly went from learning our respective languages to much being closer...
We
had to decide if it were meant to be together so decided I would come
to Japan to meet and stay with her as well as have a great birthday
experience in June being in Tokyo and see Japan at long last as well as have the best tour guide! When I
went to Japan and on my birthday night, we had a full moon in Tokyo and
when she came to Seattle for the first time during Thanksgiving for a
Christmas cruise at night and when she came back this spring and surprise proposed to me, it also was a full moon both times! She also calls
me her "Moon darling" as we both looked up at the moon as kids hoping to
find that special someone to marry somewhere far away. So I wanted to do a circle moonstone after a lot of thinking on what
kind of ring to get her after I ask her fathers permission in Japanese as they don't speak English to marry her when I meet her folks in Honolulu.
So I wanted to incorporate the full moon into her ring as well as finding a moonstone having a "deep blue" color vs rainbow as possible to represent the Pacific ocean between us and each small gemstone on the sides of the moonstone represents her and me being seperate all our lives but finally "Joining" together with the wedding band this June for a destination wedding in Hawaii with just the two of us on the beach. We are doing it quickly so we can begin the CR1 spouse visa process sooner with our immigration attorney so she can join me in Seattle sometime next year sooner and be able to find job vs the K1 fiance visa we originally planned on.
After that, we will have a more "traditional" ceremony that my family and friends can come join and possibly some of her family and friends from Japan
So, did I do good ladies?Moon1
