At the time, I was deep into my MBA studies, but no lesson could have prepared me for what was to come. When we finally met in person, she was even more beautiful than I had imagined—graceful, and endearingly shy. I wanted to do something special, something unforgettable.

The look on her face when she saw me—pure shock, disbelief, and then joy—was a moment I’ll never forget.
