How it all started... In one of the Wonders of the World!!!

Joey and I met online at love@aol on January 2000 believe it or not but most of you already know that and for the first time in person March 2000 at a Italian restaurant called "Portofino's in Forest Hills, NY (where we are both from). We dated for about six months and in September 2000 we went to Lima, Peru, where I'm originally from, so that he could meet my family. We decided to go to Macchu Picchu the city of the Incas for a couple of days and it's there, to my surprise and joy that he proposed to me. We got married in May 2001 and in July 2002 moved to Pembroke Pines, Florida where we've settled in quiet nicely.
