... in response to Under"Whatever happened", posted by Buck on Feb 25, 2003...anytime there is a poor country in the midst of a deteriorating 40yr civil war, with women who are desperate to get out...you are right, anyone can get engaged. I am often amazed at how some of the social misfits that go down there can manage to get engaged, and often on their first trip! Unbelievable.
Engagement is the easy part, by a mile...finding the right one and developing a relationship that lasts is the hard part.
Having said all that, congrats and good luck.
