this is the infamous duo... bsf and The Maestro (fondly known as "mae") LOL... weeeeellllll...

if you're reading the success story page for the first time, then KNOW FIRSTLY that success in this aspect of your life will only come to you when you're ready for it... ready to move ahead after tackling your demons, insecurities, fears, doubts, all the crap from the past... and put in some BLOODY HARD WORK... LOL... so forget it if you're still living in fairytale land... nothin' comes easy, prince charming doesn't just waltz into your life... and true love DOES come if you're patient... (usually followed by a sense of hopelessness) ... hehehe nah, just jokes...

how did it all happen??? weeeeeelllll.... to cut a long story short...

... OK! ... (just a few short words -= I promise) ... I met Tua (The Maestro) on this site March last year. We started off chatting as friends (the best way for any relationship to start, IMHO). Our chatting developed into a long distance relationship (she was in Sydney, Australia ... and I was in Nelson, New Zealand).

I came over to meet Tua in May/June last year, I made the big move to Sydney shortly afterwards.

We have been together ever since, and got married Saturday 31 July 2004 at the Chinese Tea Gardens in Darling Harbour.

Joining FSO has not only allowed me to meet and Marry the Woman that I want to spend the rest of my life with, but to also meet and make friends with other members of the FSO community.

Best wishes to you all from Craig and Tua.
