My mother and father met in Japan while he was serving a two year LDS mission in Tokyo. She is originally from Kawasaki, Kanagawa prefecture, and he is from California. After he returned home, they wrote letters to each other. She then travelled to California; a couple weeks later, he proposed to her. Despite initial disapproval by my Japanese grandparents who considered him to be the "enemy" from old World War II standards, they were married and have been happily married for 31 years!
