I first met Menze on the dating site Christian Filipina. After several months of getting to know each other through daily conversations, I traveled to the Philippines to finally meet her in person. During my visit, we spent six wonderful weeks together, traveling, exploring local restaurants, and visiting beaches. A significant highlight of my trip was spending time with her family and friends, who welcomed me warmly. During this time, we became engaged and celebrated this milestone with our loved ones. When I returned home to Utah, the distance only confirmed my feelings for her; I found myself missing her every day. We maintained our relationship long-distance until her visa was approved. I was overjoyed to finally pick her up at the Las Vegas Airport. Following our plans, we were married on November 26, 2025. It has been a joy to start our lives together as husband and wife, and we continue to grow deeper in love every day.

Hello to everyone in this community. For 29 years, I knew what it meant to love and be devoted to someone, including the eight years I spent as my late wife’s caretaker. When she passed, I wasn’t sure what the future held, but I knew I still had so much love to give and a huge heart to share. I joined Christian Filipina looking for another “angel” to complete my life, and I am so incredibly grateful to say that I found her.

I met Kimmie just a few weeks after joining. We started with constant, deep conversations that quickly showed me she was the woman of my dreams. Even though I was cautious at first—using the SOC services to make sure everything was genuine—my heart soon told me all I needed to know. Despite the miles between Georgia and the Philippines, we fell head over heels.

We were married online on December 14, 2021, and we are now living happily here in the US with the newest addition to our family, our daughter, Michaela!

My advice to those still searching: Don’t let the past or your age hold you back. Be honest, be vulnerable, and share who you really are in your profile. I spent a lifetime working hard and caring for others, and now I’ve found a partner who makes me excited for the next chapter. Take that chance—you never know when your soulmate is just one conversation away.
