Rachael’s Story
I met Russ in 2007 through a mutual friend. We were in love from the minute we started dating so it came as no surprise when Russ proposed to me on bended knee in front of my family in 2009.
We both loved the United States so we chose to tie the knot in Las Vegas 2010.

Sadly in 2015 after suffering from depression and stress, Russ took his life.
