Bonjour! Here's Helen, and there is Bernhard:

After over two years on the Internet, long months of separation and many weeks of fun together we are proud to announce our marriage!

The ocean and the sea have always been important for us. When we first met on neutral grounds it was on a small island that I took her hand and I never let go since.

Thanks to the Internet we kept the friendship alive and now we can't live without each other and are ready for the next steps in the big adventure called "life".
If it is summer or winter , day or night, Bernhard and Elena - or, Bernard and Helene, like they call themselves in the language of love, eh, french - will stay together!
