Their journey began far apart across the ocean, but love brought them together. Hendrix and Jessica’s love story started at the end of 2018, when they met on Chinalovecupid.com. They quickly discovered how much they had in common and cherished sharing their lives with each other. In April 2019, Hendrix traveled to Suzhou to meet Jessica. They shared a joyful first meeting at the Shanghai airport, and together they visited Huangshan (Yellow Mountain), where they had their names etched on a heart-shaped padlock as a symbol of their desire for their love to last. The COVID-19 pandemic separated them for more than three years. Though they briefly parted, they soon realized they could not live without each other and reconnected. When travel restrictions finally lifted, Jessica visited Hendrix in the United States in June 2023. Even though they still could not move forward with living together at the time. But they chose to travel together, creating precious memories in the Philippines, Japan, Bali, and Australia. Every trip brought them closer, deepening their love and making them certain they wanted a lifetime together. Their love was tested by distance, time, and a long pandemic separation—but they never truly let go. They traveled together through China, the U.S., the Philippines, Japan, Bali, Australia, and along every journey, their hearts grew closer. What once seemed impossible slowly became clear: they were meant to build a life together. With family’s blessing and God’s perfect timing, they now choose forever. They have decided to marry on October 10, 2026. “He has made everything beautiful in its own time.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11) What began across the miles has now become a lifelong journey—together.
