In this picture taken Tuesday, Feb. 11, 2014, Michael Guhle and his wife Thi An Nguyen from Vietnam sit in their apartment at the Weissensee district in Berlin, Germany. Guhle met the love of his life on the beach of a little fishing village in Vietnam. Nguyen was selling freshly cooked mussels and fruit to the German tourist and they immediately clicked. Soon the Berlin nursing home worker was saving up all of his money and vacation days to visit her. Marriage was supposed to bring them together. Instead, it was the beginning of a long ordeal apart. Germany blocked her from entering the country after she flunked the language test that Germany requires aspiring immigrants to pass - even those married to Germans. (AP Photo/Markus Schreiber)
