I was sort of correct..she never actually talked to the guy face-to-face before.
this is all so far fetched that most all of it is probably made up. even if she was insane enough to accept an IM proposal from a great guy who "helps people", her family wouldn't be all right with all of this. I mean, they'd want to actually meet the guy once, or at the least have the daughter and the fiance in the same state at the same time once.
