A few months after we have been dating, I was introduced to Jasper's families and friends and I felt so much welcome. It is important that you are accepted to each other's family. On the other hand, I was not able to introduce him to my family earlier because they all live in Thailand. Anyway, my mother came to visit me in 2003 and it was the first time I had to introduce him to my mother. It was a big step since he is a foreigner and a bit younger than me. I wasn't sure if my mother would be able to accept it! The meeting between my mother and Jasper went fine though they both couldn't communicate so much because my mother doesn't speak English a lot. Since my mother is the most important person in my life, I decided to take the hard way to make my mother and Jasper get to know each other. I took her to our summer trip in Eastern Europe for two weeks.
Though, it was tough for all of us, I had a great opportunity to learn more about Jasper's gentle and kind personality which is very impressive. I know he is my "better half", the one I have been searching for, my one and only! I am so proud of him.
On 13 March 2004, Jasper and I talked on phone as usual. We liked to discuss about our future even sometimes it was sad to talk about it since we both knew that we had lot of obstables ahead of us. It became normal that our conversation about our future life ended up with frustration and sadness. We were trapped and couldn't find the easy exit! Most of the time because neither of us were so brave to make any further step. However, our phone conversation this time was different from the others. It started like a normal frustrating discussion which ended up with great happines! We decided to GET MARRIED! Frankly speaking, I do not remember who proposed to who...But I think we both proposed to each other.
We both are very happy but worried at the same time. It was not gonna be a fairy tale wedding and live happily ever after. Our greatest fear was informing our families about our decision! On the other hand, our families were very supportive. Their unconditional love, kind understanding and emotional support are very important to us. Thank you all!

"I guarantee that we'll have tough times
And I guarantee that at some point
one or both of us will want to get out of this thing.
But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine
I'll regret it for the rest of my life
Because I know in my heart
You are the only one for me..."From The Run Away Bride
