You're invited to celebrate
Johnny Yao&Lena Hua
Date TBD
Location TBD
Together since 19 · 09 · 2017
It started with a swipe
19 · 09 · 2017 · A dating app · A leap of faith
No meet-cute at a coffee shop. No friends who set us up. Just two profiles, one awkward first message, and a right swipe that turned into years of wrong turns we wouldn't trade for anything.
It's a Match!
You and your person liked each other
Around the world with you
Seven destinations, one passport
Sydney → Japan → Singapore → Bali → Vietnam → Korea → Shanghai — every stamp another page in our story.
🇦🇺 Sydney, Australia
Harbour lights & home base
“Where our story lives between ferry rides, Opera House silhouettes, and weekends that felt like forever.”
10 years in moments
Snapshots from 19 · 09 · 2017 until now — every ordinary day that made forever feel inevitable.
19 September — the day everything started
First coffee. First nervous laugh. First forever.
Beach days that stretched into evenings
Cooking disasters that somehow tasted like home
Movie nights when the world went quiet
Held on through the hard year
Another year around the sun — together
Japan in winter — falling snow, falling deeper
She said yes before the tears even came
That smile — the one that says forever
New Year fireworks and a new promise
Picnic blankets and stolen strawberries
One umbrella, two heartbeats
Coastal highways and no destination but us
Slow dances in the living room
Still choosing each other — every ordinary Tuesday
We're getting married
Date and location are still TBD — we'll share the details as soon as they're set.
Please RSVP by TBD
Ups, downs & everything between
No love story is a straight line. Ours had storms — and we learned to dance in the rain.
The messages that went unread
Busy lives, different schedules, the quiet fear that maybe the spark was fading.
The fight in the car
Windows up, voices loud, both convinced the other wasn't listening. We sat in silence for an hour.
The text that said 'I'm sorry'
Not because someone won — because we remembered what we were fighting for.
Every trip we almost cancelled
Budget stress, work deadlines — but we went anyway. And every time, we came back closer.
Choosing us — again and again
From 19 · 09 · 2017 until forever. The hard days made the soft ones mean more.
The question in the snow
Japan · Winter · The moment everything changed
The birch trees stood still. Snow fell like the world was holding its breath. He got down on one knee. She didn't wait for the question — the answer was already in her eyes.
“Will you marry me?”
