"We spent the rest of my week there together. He showed me all the cool beaches and we got to know each other more," Maria said. "When I left the island we had plans to connect, but realistically I wasn’t sure if that would happen."
Well it did, and this year the couple will celebrate their 10-year anniversary.
Congrats to the Smiths! They have two children and have been Livermore residents since 2007.
