From strangers, to online penpals, to best friends, and now onwards to life companions.

Distance can weaken couples, but I’d say it’s made us stronger.

I've met a wonderful man here in Slowly. He has a pure and gentle soul...

It all started with "Saudações cara compatriota!" ("Greetings my fellow compatriot!") and in total, we ended up exchanging 103 letters.

It left me feeling so uninspired to reach out to anyone else, until – Just when I least expected it, I had an incoming letter from Iran.

Today is the first day we meet and my heart is literally flying.

All Hail SLOWLY - Without you people none of this would have happened.

If someone had told me one year ago my soul mate is an Italian boy I'll meet on Slowly, we'll exchange letters, then meet and fall in love, I would never believe...
