Summer, Nyár, 2002
Well, we were in love. What to do. András asked me to come back again and go on a vacation with him to Lake Balaton. I was so depressed without him, I agreed to go and bought tickets for the last two weeks of July.
When I got to Hungary, András and his father were both there to pick me up at the airport and I was so happy. That first night that I was there, András and I were talking and he said to me that his dream was to spend his life with me. Then asked me to marry him. I of course said yes!
We made a plan that he would apply for a visa to come back to America with me and we would get married here. But he wanted his family to be able to celebrate with us as well and asked if I would stay for the month of August so we could have an engagement party. How could I say no to that?
When the appointment came with the American Embassy for András to get his visa, he was turned down. It looked like everyone who went in that day was turned down. We were sad and angry, but we would have gotten married in America, we would just move up the date and get married in Hungary. Then as my husband he would be able to come back with me.
I called my family and said, "Can you mail me my birth certificate? I'm getting married!"
We had such a fun summer! Here are some pictures.
