Weddingbee bios

 Matthew was my penpal while he was serving in Iraq.  I found a website where civilians can send soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan letters of appreciation, care packages, etc.

I wrote to the soldier who's address I got, and eventually he wrote back.  I sent him a few care packages, we continued writing, and were soon talking on the internet and on the phone.  When he got back to the states, he came and stayed with me in Massachusetts.  We had decided that if things were just too awkward that he'd go back, but they weren't.

We've been in love ever since!
