So I'm sitting here with a sore arm and a sore arse, because I got 7 vaccines to go to South America, to meet a woman whom I'm madly in love with.

We knew each other online for ages, and back in September bought a ticket to Buenos Aires on the spur. I only work part time, so I chucked the idea of getting a car, or moving to Dublin for the time being.

I regret nothing though

So just out of curiosity, what things have fellow boardsians done for love?

I would do anything for love... but I won't do that...

Too many pages and someone probably beat me to it already.

I moved to her country 1000 miles away and with minimal knowledge of the language. Then i came home, saved up again and went back. Didn't like the country but I loved her.

Then after i came home again (work issues) and in the space of 3 days, she changed her mind about the whole thing and dumped me just before my birthday

Then the lads got me polluted, made me piss myself laughing all evening and took me to see some boobs at a lapdancing club. Felt better from then on

Lesson learned. Love is bollocks.

Odio a los argentinos. Es una cosa mexicana.

But best of luck anyways.

Best wishes.

I too went the online route, first trip to America in 2002 on me own after talking and chatting for a few years. Air traffic control was have trouble all over Europe, flights cancelled. I was in Heathrow and my flight went ahead. Fast forward, many trips to and from, many tears, visa stress and we are married for 7 years and happy living in the US.

I don't mean to put a dampener on this but how sure are you that she isn't some crazy Argentinian drug lord who's gonna bum you into oblivion?

Tar.Aldarion · 31-01-2011 3:39am

They are married, isn't that punishment enough?

A picture's worth a thousand words, did you not click?

I did, and bugger it, there before my eyes is true happiness.

Long may it last Mr and Mrs cherryghost.:)

I really should full read the threads before posting.

Incredible story OP, congratulations and I hope you both have a very happy time together

upandcumming · 31-01-2011 4:06am

It'd be class if there was something like boardiaz.arg or something and the bride had a massive thread on that! What would be said I wonder...

OP, fair play to you!
