I met Naoyuki online within a couple of weeks after moving to Michigan in early February 2003. Our first date (we went to a tuxedo shop, of all places!) was on March 1, 2003 -- and we've been together ever since! I'm proud to have this man as my partner in life so I figured it was about time I gave you all the pertinent details. Enjoy! -- RPJ
