What started as a simple online introduction quickly grew into a connection full of laughter, shared adventures, and countless memories, marking the start of our forever. Richard’s first time meeting Thi's parents came after a night out with friends. Thi had a bit too much to drink, and Richard carried her safely to bed, using a mix of Google Translate and hand gestures to apologize to her parents. What was an awkward, and in retrospect hilarious, moment became an early example of Richard's promise to care for, protect, and always look after Thi. Since then, we've navigated language barriers, braved international travel together, and survived all those “what do you want to eat?” debates. We look forward to continue building a fun, loving, and successful future together. With Richard born in the year of the Dog and Thi in the year of the Tiger, we like to think this is the ultimate combination of patience and passion <3
