Only 8,650 Miles to Love - Couple #27

8,650 miles is the combined distance that it took Micheli to leave her hometown in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Richard his Baltimore, Maryland, upbringing, before cupid united these two at a Valentine's Day party in Los Angeles.


Cupid was quite literally a grown man wearing red, furry wings and a giant diaper, and his arrow was not initially striking at this Chinatown affair. The "Lock and Key" party proved to be a dud. Failing to find a spark with their counterparts wearing their matching key or lock, Micheli grew quickly frustrated and accosted the cherubic party host. He promised to find her a match.

Fortunately for Richard, he knew the man playing Cupid and he just so happened to be talking to him when Micheli walked by. Cupid grabbed her arm and exclaimed, "I have the perfect guy for you." Then he swung her around to face Richard.

It didn't take long before these two acted on what they knew from that very first moment, - that they are perfect for each other and that it was time to get hitched! As Richard says, "Winning the "Who Wants to Win a Wedding?" contest would be the perfect way to bring our far-flung friends and family together."

  3. Had these two glanced just an inch further to the left or stepped a foot more to the right, perhaps Cupid would have missed. How fortunate the two wandering clouds found themselves when united by the playful deity. Turned a different corner and this tale might never have been written. Best of luck to the darlings and the happiness that springs from their words.
