Dear Inna
Please thank Rosa, Natasha and Irina for their help. I'd
like to thank you as well, I know I was a little bit of a headache for them and you at the biginning as things were not going very well for me. As you know, I was ready to give up, but then I met Anna the next day. Towards the end of my stay, I proposed to her in front of her family and she accepted :-) We are now happily engaged.

CONGRATULATIONS to
Anthony R. and Tatiana S. on their
engagement in Sochi, June 2003.

Wow, what can I say, my trip to Sochi was an Amazing once in a lifetime experience, but NOT at all how I expected it to be, as I didn't end up with any of the girls I had been writing.
The process of meeting all the ladies, and trying to find the right one who had mutual chemistry with me, was very difficult and exhausting in every way, I must admit. But I am so happy to say that, although it was a very difficult first week for me, it was all worth it as I persevered, found the right girl for me, and had a truly wonderful second week with her.

"So I am very pleased and proud
to tell you the news that Tanya and I are engaged".
