Our hearts are in flames. The fire of our love is burning so strongly that it cannot be described in words. There isn’t words which could describe love we’re feeling. It just is and exists. We just are. We. And our love.
How did a story like this began? How can we be so lucky that we found our soulmates, the other halves? Me, in Finland, 2000 km’s away from France and Stéphane. How did this all happen, how is it possible? Those are the questions that many people has asked from me the most.
The internet.
I could start our story by telling about a band called In Flames, how did they got together, which year was it, how old were they… But I think that’s not the most important thing to tell in our Love Story, even if In Flames is our favourite band…
And thanks to them, we are here now.
I discovered In Flames with a little help of my friend, and after that I discovered a website called www.everdying.com. It’s not very hard to guess, who’s the administrator of that website? Archy, my Stéphane.
I registered there 9th of July 2005. 10th of July we had our first very serious discussion.
Well, not so serious, but still.
It was the beginning to this amazing story. And it was the first discussion which leaded to many many many discussions. At that moment I didn’t realise that my life will change, everything will turn upside down and I will fall in love so deeply I couldn’t even dream about anything like that before. But it happened. It happened to us. This is the first contact we had.

Session Close (Hanski *Manaa Pahoja Henkiä*): Sun Jul 10 11:28:49 2005
Me, always in a hurry, always late from everywhere.
I was back later. It felt like we’ve known eachother for many many years or something. Talking was easy, so easy, even though we use a foreign language to both of us. We understood eachother perfectly. Silent moments weren’t really silent ones, we didn’t need words to express ourselves.
We were 2000 km’s away from eachother, and we both felt this strong connection between us, this thunder which was between us. Everytime I looked at adorable Stéphane, I felt like I want to run to France and give him a big hug and kiss.
Webcam was very useful to us, later also microphones.
Our first webcam session was 16th of July. I saw Cutie for the first time at that day. I didn’t have a webcam at that time, but soon after that I had my own.
16/07/2005 22:48:26 Hanski *Manaa Pahoja Henkiä* a accepté votre invitation à démarrer la webcam.

Cutie was beeing so shy, blushing all the time if I said any compliments. And looked so cute while blushing.
After that we saw eachother every day from our computer screens. We had our first phonecall at 13th of August and we spoke for 23 minutes.
How do I remember that, I don’t know…
I was so happy to hear his voice, his exotic accent. After that day, I heard his voice every day.
Thousands of written words, cyber kisses, hugs, phonecalls, sms’s later we decided to meet eachother in Helsinki, the capital of my country Finland. We started the first countdown, we counted days when we can really see eachother and hug and kiss eachother. 18th of August we started teh official countdown, “only” 22 days and we’ll finally meet.
It was funny feeling, to love someone, who I haven’t even meet in real life, only via webcam and internet. But feelings were and are so true and so strong… I couldn’t wait to see him standing in front of me and get to kiss him and hug him. Those 22 days of our countdown went so slowly…
And then finally came the day we both had waited so long. 7th of September I took a night train from Oulu to Helsinki and started to get ready for the big first meet.
Finally the day came. 9th of September 2005. The most magical and romantic day. I woke up at 6 in the morning and couldn’t sleep anymore… I was too excited, too nervous, too happy. Finally I can wake up to this day, to this most incredible feeling, I can finally see my love. We can finally see eachother. I watched the clock moving so slowly… But then… The moment was finally there.
I went to the airport, my hands and legs were shaking, I couldn’t stand still, I couldn’t drink anything. I was so so excited… I looked at the screen which said that my honeys plane was approaching the airport. Then landing… Then landed.
OU MAI KAAD OU MAI KAAD OU MAI KAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!
I saw people coming through the doors, speaking finnish, english, FRENCH… I stood there and stared at the door. Then it opened. And my honey was there.
Everything else around me disappeared. I didn’t see anything else, I couldn’t hear anything. I was just looking at my love, and he was looking at me. Finally, we were face to face, looking at eachother. I started to walk to him, he was walking to me. In the middle I was in his arms, he was in my arms. That hug. Our first hug… It felt like I never want to let go, like he would vanish if I now let go. The Kiss. First Kiss. Happy tears were running from my eyes. That kiss took my breath away. It was full of love and magic.
We spent the most amazing four days together. We enjoyed every second of it, I didn’t want to even think about that we have to say goodbye soon.
Those four days changed my life. I’ve never felt this kind of symbiotic feeling, this kind of connection. I thought that this kind of feelings exists only in movies or in fairy tales… But no. This is real life. This is my life, this is our life.
Like a fairy tale, every little girls fantasy.
I’m the princess of this true fairy tale, and he’s my prince.
He’s the one.
Now we just started our new life, we’ve chosen a path which we both walk together. There will be rocks on our path, but we’ll get through everything. Everything, we are together.
Our bright future is waiting for us. It has so many things to offer us. And we have all the time we need.
My one, my love, my honey, my husband,
I love you with all of my heart.
Forever.
You brought the light to my life.
Hanna.
