Megan and Whitney Bacon-Evans are now happily married, live together in Windsor, Berks., and are trying for a baby.
But they spent years in a long-distance relationship after connecting on Myspace in December 2006.
Megan, now 35, was at university in Cardiff while Whitney, now 34, was at university in Hawaii.
They pair finally met in person in 2008 and spent the next four years travelling back and forth - at an estimated cost of £30,000.
They say they spent £20,000 on flights and another £10,000 on visas and other costs.
But love won out and in 2012 Whitney moved to the UK to be with Megan.
And the pair are now married and trying for a baby.
Whitney, an influencer, said: "It wasn't easy, but when you love someone, you make it work."
"Long distance is about trust and keeping the love alive - and that's what we've had to do for a large chunk of our relationship."
