Our Love Story

Ours is a love that began almost a decade ago, with a simple first date at a restaurant named Sakura Sushi. What started as a spark quickly became something undeniable and our hearts chose each other for good. Since then, we’ve shared life’s most beautiful moments, growing together, laughing endlessly, and building a bond that feels as natural as breathing. In April 2024, our story came full circle in the most magical way. Under a Sakura tree, in front of Mount Fuji in Japan, we got engaged, only to realise later how perfectly poetic it was that our journey began at a place called Sakura Sushi. It felt like life had written our story with intention all along. We are, in every sense, soulmates, two halves that found their way home to one another. And now, we cannot wait to spend forever creating new memories, chasing new adventures, and celebrating our love.
