Nina Allam and Sean Barbary both from England met on Second Life. But their relationship first established online then in person didn't fall apart like most. Instead, their romance bloomed and now they are getting married.
The couple met on Second Life (SL). Nina's avatar was Brie Janick and Sean's was Seany1235 Blinker. Well the couple first met in Virtual London almost two years ago. They met and married in SL and married but they split up for a while. However, they eventually got back together and even spent the holidays together. And that’s when the big news came out. Sean popped the question and they announced that they were going to be married in real life.
The couple was watching Big Ben and the fireworks on TV while drinking a glass of wine. And at midnight Ben got on one knee and proposed and she accepted. After that they had chocolate cheesecake. And when asked if she knew Sean was planning on proposing she said "I had no idea, was a complete shock." Sean said, "I had it planned beforehand as I knew Brie was coming down to spend New Year's with me. I had been thinking about it for a while but waiting for the right moment."
When they both originally got on SL they though this is just for fun and won't translate over into real life. But after a short time they became friends and fell in love with the person behind the avatar. They both say that the avatar is just like the person. Even though they made vows online they both said it felt real but they're looking forward to the real ones.
As for the breakup they both report that they were going through a difficult time in their life and while they had other priorities and were apart in real life they were never apart on SL. They were always together on SL, on the phone, and they eventually realized that this was a serious relationship and they didn't want to be apart any longer. They needed each other.
They are unsure of the wedding plans because they are different religions and have to come up with a location that's okay with both of them. And as for the date it will be set soon. The couple also will be renewing their vows on SL on April 6th which will be their second anniversary and they will celebrate their real life engagement at the same time.
Even though this isn't the typical way a couple meets Brie said "I never thought I'd find true love again, but I said it found me lol. But what's been amazing is that we have made some friendships for life and people have followed us really over the 2 years and supported us, for that we are truly thankful." And Sean said "Meeting Brie in Second Life was the best thing in my life…"
This story is incredible and hard to believe but Second Life brought two people together. There is such a thing as virtual romance. And this couple will be spending their lives together in Second Life and the real world. Romance can be found anywhere.
