Like many modern love stories, ours began online—but with a twist. We might never have crossed paths if it weren’t for Ben’s love of crafting (and a well-timed trip to a craft store nearby to Tuan). Sometimes, fate works in mysterious and glitter-covered ways. From our very first date, the conversation ran deep. We both admitted something that many people are hesitant to say out loud: we were tired of the dating game and ready for something real. That honesty cracked something open—a space for true connection, vulnerability, and laughter. From that moment on, we were nearly inseparable. Nothing felt forced or uncertain; it just felt right. In the time since, we’ve supported each other through life’s ups and downs, grown stronger both individually and as a couple, and built a life full of encouragement, joy, and unconditional love. We can’t imagine life without each other—and thankfully, we won’t have to.
