Despite his reservations about the "speed dating" style of dating events, he focused his attention on Marilyn. To connect with her, he navigated the process of obtaining an IMBRA form, a necessary step for releasing her contact information.
Marilyn, received Ingram's initial message on December 23rd. She signed the IMBRA form which allowed them to communicate more directly.

His future plans were clear: to marry Marilyn as soon as possible and bring her to the United States.
Marilyn, aspires to pursue culinary arts, would attend school in North Carolina, where Ingram resides. After gaining experience, they planned to return to the Philippines, where Marilyn intended to start her own business with Ingram's full support.
Ingram expressed immense satisfaction with the matchmaking staff, highlighting their helpfulness. He found a remarkable coincidence when he saw Marilyn in a YouTube video shortly after they began communicating, reinforcing his belief that their meeting was meant to be.
Marilyn echoes his sentiments, expressing gratitude to God and the Filipina matchmakers for answering her prayers and helping her find a good man. She encourages other women to use the site to find their own partners.
