About the Couple
Unexpected and across the distance, a longing love united, cultivating a bond with patience and commitment
An Uber drive turned into a love story, paths collided when the driver, a friend, encouraged an introduction. A call followed shortly after and the rest was history. Our love was fostered across the sea.
Our Story
Their initial encounter was as serendipitous as it was natural, a meeting of eyes that transcended mere chance. Michael, living in Africa for work, was captivated by Guerline's grace and warmth. He saw in her a reflection of his own values and aspirations. Guerline, with her vivacious spirit, felt a resonance with Michael's kindness and wisdom.
Friendship unfolded like a well-worn map, guiding them through conversations that spanned oceans. Michael's tales of his African experiences echoed with adventure, while Guerline's stories of her life resonated with resilience. Their late-night conversations flowed effortlessly, weaving a bond fortified by shared experiences and an unwavering trust.
Five years slipped away like grains of sand through an hourglass, as they navigated time zones and continents with messages of devotion and encouragement. Michael, separated by miles yet steadfast in his pursuit, knew in his heart that Guerline was the missing piece he had been searching for. Guerline, cautious yet increasingly certain, saw in Michael the qualities of a partner who could weather life's storms by her side.
Their first date on April 2018 at Oceanaire, they weren't looking for anything, but sparks ignited as they split appetizers and shared a meaningful conversation sitting across from each other.
July 17 2021 at 10:44 PM, Michael proposed at the Oceanaire as he recreated their first date even dining in the same window aisle, this time sitting next to each other with a sparkly surprise!
