The story of love in the lights of Sacramento

57-year-old resident of Ukraine, having experienced the loss of loved ones, met my love overseas and together with her fiance flew to the United States, where they had a wedding.

This story is so amazing that it looks like a fairy tale - it is both sad and funny, and, of course, instructive. But the most important thing is that she has a happy ending.

“On my birthday, Misha and I talked on Skype. He put on a dress coat with a butterfly and gave me a basket of roses.

- I have been living in a fairy tale for a year now, but not invented, but the real one! - He speaks 57-year-old Nelly Olszewska. - I thank God every day. Many years ago, she set a goal to marry a charming American. But it was necessary to undertake something, and not to hope for a miracle. To begin with, I charged the whole apartment with announcements that I live in ... America. The morning began with what I said to myself: “I'm fine, I'm in love, the lights of Sacramento are outside the window. Well, if not today, then ... tomorrow I’ll see them. ” Maybe it will seem like an eccentricity to someone, but personally this approach helped me a lot. At first I drew what I wanted to get, and then realized.

- But why America?

“It's not that simple,” Nelly sighs. - When my daughter was five years old, I divorced her father. Nine years later he called her to America, where he had settled by then. It was hard to part with my beloved daughter, but I thought that she would be better off in a prosperous country. The daughter flew away, and two years later, in the 1995 year, at her birthday, she sank in a boat. What grief I have experienced is beyond words. Yes, and could not attend the funeral. I asked my ex-husband for the money for the trip, but he said that these were my problems. I remember sobbing with despair.

And on the eve of the death of my daughter my second husband unexpectedly died. I was then 37 years old, in the arms of a three year old son. I did not want to live, but I decided that I had no right to die until I visited the daughter’s grave, until I asked her for forgiveness (all the years I had a heavy cross of guilt that let her go). I dreamed of seeing the places that my daughter liked, just to be with her.

Time passed, the son grew up, got married, now he is raising his son. In the evenings, I was left alone and decided to buy myself a computer in order to somehow brighten up loneliness. It was registered in social networks, began to communicate with interesting people. Once she dared to fill out a form on a dating site. The questionnaire indicated that "the sociable, cheerful lady will marry a charming American."

- And your ideal was immediately found?

- No, I was still far from meeting the fairy-tale prince. Different men wrote to me, but I never felt that it was mine. Moreover, it was aimed only at America, other countries did not interest me. Two "suitors" came from Canada and Israel, but I did not like both, although I can’t say anything bad about them. An Israeli brought a lot of wonderful cosmetics, but I had to return the gifts, because I was not going to tie my fate with this person.

I had a case when I rejected a man, and he ... paid for the trip to his country. And I have never seen him in my life. Friends have repeatedly asked what I attract men. The secret, I think, is that I write and speak only the truth about myself. Some ladies try to hide their age and weight, present themselves as wonderful hostesses, and as a result, when the groom arrives, both of them have a huge disappointment.

No need to live with illusions, besides, on the Web you can stumble upon scammers. Once I received a letter: “Dear Nellie, I am very sorry for you. You are so open, simple and clean that I want to give some advice. Do you think this beautiful man's photo is mine? You are deeply mistaken! Do not be so gullible. Do not believe in either a photo, or sex, or age — all a deception, a game. But this letter did not affect me, I continued to believe that the prince would fly to me on a white plane from distant America.

Once drew attention to a man with a white-toothed smile. It was Misha. I fell in love immediately. All his photos were interesting, from exotic places. Beautiful face, open look. I felt that such a man waited all her life.

Without much hope, I wrote him two words: "The real lion." Misha replied: "I look at your photo, and it seems to me that you are the one that I have been looking for for so long." And so it began: letters, chatting on Skype. It turned out that Misha was on a horoscope ... Lev. He is Ukrainian, many years ago he left for America and received citizenship there. He lives in California, in Sacramento, in the very city I dreamed of seeing from my window, convincing myself that someday this will happen.

It was easy for us to communicate. Although we shared the ocean. Upon learning that I was dreaming of visiting the grave of my daughter, he immediately offered his help.

On my birthday, April 16, we chatted with Misha on Skype. He put on a dress coat with a butterfly and “gave” me a basket of roses for the song “Beauty Queen”. Then he uncorked the champagne and took out two wine glasses. After that he said that he had sent money for a trip to Egypt. I cried from happiness ...

“Having met Nellie, I won the biggest jackpot in history”

On the fifth of May of last year, Mikhail promised to come to Nellie. She counted the days, and her acquaintances made fun of the woman, asserting that the overseas guest would deceive her.

“Misha crossed the threshold of my house, as the most dear, most long-awaited person,” says Nelli Olshevskaya. - We had a wonderful time: first in Egypt, then - here in Transcarpathia, in Svaliava. Not a day without dancing and songs, attended all sorts of shows. We felt young, vigorous, it was easy for us.

In Egypt, Misha made me an offer. Soon we flew to America, where we were supposed to get married. But the unexpected happened - I was tormented by nostalgia. I wanted to see native field, forest. I never thought that in life it happens, I thought that all this is fiction of writers. The travels in America that Misha arranged for me did not help either. Several times I flew to the grave of my daughter, it is very far from Sacramento - in one direction to fly seven hours.

Misha drove me to the ski resorts, to the fintes clubs, to the hippodrome. He made a voyage on a 18-floor cruise ship - this is a city in the ocean. On each deck floor there is a swimming pool, a golf course, a theater, a skating rink, a casino. But it was not possible to dispel the homesickness. I literally begged a return ticket and returned to Ukraine.

We have decided that separation will determine how we proceed. As a result, only three months were able to stay without each other. All this time we talked on Skype, sad about each other, we really wanted to be together. A few days ago, Misha came to Ukraine to take me to America. We decided that we would modestly sign there, in a close circle, we celebrate the event (Misha, except for her daughter, has no one else in America), and then we run off a magnificent wedding here in Ukraine. We will live there. Of course, at this age it is difficult to change the country, traditions, way of life, leaving so far from loved ones. But love, I am sure, will help overcome all difficulties.

- Why did you pay attention to Nelly? - interested in Michael.

- I was struck by her beautiful and kind eyes - admits 67-year-old Michael. - It soon became clear that we have a lot in common. I realized that Nellie was the woman who had been waiting for so long. I think I won the biggest jackpot in history.

“We’re really two halves that are perfect for each other,” says Nellie. - Every woman dreams of just such a man: pretty, cheerful, clever, generous. He makes all decisions like men, quickly and confidently.

- Sometimes you quarrel?

“It was a deal,” Nelly smiles. “Misha wanted to give me another surprise and brought me to a hot spring, where it is customary to bathe naked. When I saw a crowd of naked people of absolutely different ages under jets of water, I was simply stupefied. I refused to undress for all to undress, said something insulting to Misha. But it was the first and the last time, we will never quarrel again.

He guesses her desires and performs under the guise of a surprise, but she easily continues the phrase he didn’t say, understanding her beloved from half a word. The two of them can laugh until two in the morning or dance in the middle of the street, causing admiring glances of passersby. “It's a pleasure to look at you, you are shining with love,” - often hear Misha and Nelly following from complete strangers.

“We ourselves have long been surprised at what happened to us,” say the newlyweds. - But this is a real miracle, which I want to tell the whole world. People, believe in love, in the fulfillment of desires at any age! We would like to wish the lovely ladies and gentlemen not to be afraid to decide their fate in a modern way.

Looking at this beautiful couple, it is easy to believe in a fairy tale that can happen to each of us ...
