Our "Q & A Interview" is with Irada, from St-Petersburg, Russia.

Irada, originally from St.Petersburg, Russia, currently living in Tempe, Arizona. Irada is 25 years old and just recently got married to Scott. In this interview she shares with us her views of life in America.

I saw Scott in a café in St. Petersburg where he was having coffee with a friend. I felt attracted to him and could not help smiling at him. He came up to me and my friend Irina, whom he knew through Silver-Cafe.Net and we had a conversation together. He took a couple of pictures and I think it helped us to stay in touch. He promised to send me these pictures and we exchanged addresses. Of course it was just an excuse to start a correspondence, at least for me. Our first meeting in a café was casual, but we remembered each other very well. Later we saw each other again at a social when Scott came back to St-Petersburg and we dated, but we did not have much time because his trip was short. We wrote each other many times after he left. My heart “soared” when he called me and told me that he was in St-Petersburg again, (he wrote me a letter but I had not received it). He stayed in Russia for 3 weeks and we were together every day. He presented me with beautiful flowers almost every day. I did not have enough vases in my house to put all the flowers that he brought me. He was a real gentleman and I felt in love.
A few weeks later, Scott and I met in Helsinki (Finland) where we spent many wonderful days together and where he proposed to me. I was delighted to say “yes” and I felt I was in Seventh Heaven. I could not wait for my fiancee visa to be ready, I thought it took ages. Every weekend Scott called me and we talked for a long time on the phone. I waited for the weekends to come as I could hear the voice that was so dear to my heart. Finally, I got the visa and came to Arizona to be with my beloved person. Now we are married and I could not be happier.
