She didn't want to go out that night despite everyone's begging. She finally gave in. Best decision she ever made because there he was, starring right at her. And she smiled knowing tonight would be okay.
Two and a half weeks later she was back home in America and Dimitry was home in Russia. Those two and half weeks went so quickly but she knew he was special to her. And as for Dimitry, he called to let her know exactly how he felt - completely and utterly in love. They took it slow and kept in touch as good friends, him constantly fighting for her, and Svetlana continuously reminding him of her steady answer, "no." But he didn't give up. Three years later, she said yes. She couldn't stand it any longer and gave in to her feelings. She loved him. She got on a plane and flew right to him in Russia and they were married.
But their story doesn't end their. With her job and family, she had to fly back home with her new husband. But he can't get in to the states and had to stay behind. One year later of waiting and praying, he is finally with her again. Through it all they only grew deeper in love.
As I talked with Svetlana today, she told me this: "I've never been sure of anything in my life. Then I met him. He's my blessing and joy. If I'm sure of anything, it's Dimitry."
Svetlana & Dimitry decided to have a wedding here in the states for her family. I can't wait to be a part of this special moment soon!
