Has anyone gone through a long-distance relationship that worked out in the end?

I'm cutting a very romantic and in depth story down to a couple of paragraphs :)

Met in Japan, got to know each other as friends, we moved back to England and Canada respectively, dated online for around six months then I visited for two weeks. Everything went well so I planned to go and live over there, but then her course didn't go as expected and she was living in a shitty basement, so we decided she would move here instead.

She did around three months later, and now we're married and soon we will have a child and she will have permanent residency!
