Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

When I met Margarita during a vacation in Cancun, I never imagined that we would end up living there. It was love at first sight, that is, an infatuation of the type that lasts a lifetime, and from the first day we knew that we would not be apart again. Obviously, it was very difficult for my parents to accept that I would live on the other side of the Pond, but they were deeply happy for me. Also, as soon as I arrived in Mexico, I found work and I started the process to obtain nationality, which would allow me to live in a country with great diversity. For the time being, I think I made the right decision and I am incredibly happy with my wife. I'm very glad I followed my heart and having discovered a fascinating country.

Getting that for you now...
