Thank you for celebrating our special day with us!

In the digital maze of profiles and pictures, where most connections fade faster than they form, fate decided to be playful one quiet evening in 2022. Glenda, curled up in her apartment in the Philippines, was swiping through a dating app half-heartedly. Then she paused. A profile stood out—not because of the guy's smile or some cheesy pickup line—but because of a woman in the photo. It was Nic’s mom. Her warmth radiated through the screen, and Glenda thought, "If his mom looks this kind, he must be raised well." So she swiped right. What she didn’t know was that Nic, sitting thousands of miles away, had already swiped right on her days ago. Match. Their first message turned into hours of chatting. What started with playful banter quickly evolved into deep conversations, silly jokes, and shared dreams. It didn’t take long before they knew—they had stumbled upon something rare. A few months in, Nic made a bold decision. He booked a flight to the Philippines. No grand expectations, just the hope that the magic they felt online would hold true in person. When they met at the airport, it was like seeing someone they had known forever. There was no awkwardness, just two hearts that had finally found each other in the real world. They clicked. They laughed. They explored. And they knew: this was just the beginning. From there, a tradition was born. Every year, they met in a new Asian country—Vietnam’s lantern-lit streets, Thailand’s golden temples, and Taiwan’s vibrant night markets—each place becoming a chapter in their love story. Long-distance was never easy. Time zones clashed, calls dropped, and there were days when the distance felt unbearable. But they held on. They held on through nightly video calls, surprise deliveries, handwritten letters, and photos that said “I miss you” in ways words couldn’t. They made it work—because they chose each other, every single day. Finally, after years of stolen moments and countdowns to their next hello, Nic and Glenda made the most important decision yet—they ended the distance. No more goodbyes at airports. No more laggy video calls. Just two hearts, in the same place, finally beating in sync. And it all started… with a right swipe and a beautiful mom in the profile picture.
