How we met

Lily moved to Japan to teach English, expecting an adventure filled with new places and experiences. She never imagined that this journey would lead her to finding the love of her life. Not long after arriving, Lily took on a second job as an online English tutor. One day, out of countless possibilities, Shinichi booked a lesson with her. What began as a simple English class quickly felt like something more: easy, natural, and meant to be. At the time, Shinichi lived in Fukuoka, and Lily lived in Tokyo. They were separated by hundreds of kilometers and hours of travel. It was unlikely their paths would ever cross, and yet, somehow, they did. When they finally met in person, it felt like destiny revealing itself. That day happened to be Lily’s birthday, and Shinichi arrived carrying cherry blossoms. In that moment, holding those blossoms and standing with him, Lily knew without hesitation that he was the one. What began as a chance meeting across a screen became a love that crossed distance, cities, and expectations. They found each other by coincidence, but it felt unmistakably like fate.
