    Meet the couple who are happily engaged despite living 8,697 miles apart and in different continents - and say trust is the key to their relationship. Sarah Dorough, 21, and Luke Bond, 22, got engaged on December 17, 2022 after just a year of dating. The smitten pair met online in December 2021 and would FaceTime every day before finally meeting in July 2022. Luke, a fitness instructor, travelled for 32 hours to Suffolk, Virginia, US, to meet Sarah and her family. In December 2022, Sarah flew to Luke's home in Wellington, New Zealand, and spent Christmas with him and his family. On December 27, 2022, Luke surprised Sarah by popping the question and the pair are now set to wed in New Zealand next year and have plans of moving in together one day. Sarah, a fitness coach said: "Our relationship is exciting and adventurous. "It is just all-round fun, loving and caring. "I love that he is funny and kind, we have such strong communication and interest in each other. "The biggest thing is trusting each other, especially when you're far away from each other, there is always going to be little thought that can pop into each other's head. "Luke and I never have any concerns about what the other person is doing as we have that bond and trust." The pair met on Instagram in December 2021, bonding over their mutual interest in fitness. Sarah said: "He was asking me some questions about fitness as he is also doing personal training. "The next time he reached out I felt like I kind of knew him, which made me a little more comfortable but also he was asking about my faith and Christianity. "He was more genuine and asking about bible verses and stuff like that." The pair hit it off straight away and immediately started to FaceTime each other, before officially dating in July 2022. After going long-distance dating for a few months, the pair finally met in July when Luke flew over to the states to see Sarah and ask her to be his girlfriend. She said: “We would talk around two times every day and talk for a long time and making it work with the time zones is hard to. “We were already invested in each other from the call, so from there that’s when we were like if we are going to move forward and have a relationship we need to meet in person as we don’t want to be online together. "When I first met Luke in person it almost felt like a dream. "An experience I haven't ever felt before, that first hug was something we had waited so long for, so you can only imagine how exciting …
