Online Engagement Ring Unites Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay

Miami FL March 6, 2004 -- The Reserve brought them together. She, a yoga instructor and now a civilian computer guru for the Navy in Cuba and he, a Federal Public Defender and now a Legal Officer involved in Afghan stabilization and reconstruction. For two years since meeting in Cuba, they have communicated via e-mail, which is why it made perfect sense to purchase their 2.15ct Russian demantoid green garnet engagement ring online from www.faycullen.com, in time for their reunion. A unique exchange of photos between Fay, Cel (Marcella) and Tom from three points on the globe ensued while planning their reunion in Texas.

Fay, a seasoned traveler, particularly enjoyed her spirited correspondence with Tom and Cel. Their story touched her with details as to how this adventurous, patriotic couple although physically distanced, kept their love alive through the Internet. Fay was fascinated by this relationship, which seemed to mirror the workings of an Internet business. Tom and Cel would send her pictures of Afghanistan orphans and Tom visiting an arms store in Kabul. Another world? Not really, for these pictures, taken in Afghanistan, arrived in Guantanamo Bay and ended up in Miami Beach... on the same day. So close and yet so far!

"Having a life with Tom in the same time zone is worth whatever it takes" Cel says in a letter to Fay. From another part of the world, Tom writes "I hope to place it on her finger at the end of February". "I thought it was just a come-on when they said join the reserves and see the world. I've spent most of the last two years on active duty and am looking forward to a return to civilian life in a couple of months." This ring is playing a very symbolic role in the couple's reunion.

Fay Cullen's web site has a large international audience, as her 'catalog' of unique jewelry is only available on the World Wide Web. She is a leader in antique and estate jewelry sales and plays a surprisingly intimate role with her customers.
