Our story began in August 2018 at our best friends' wedding in Shenzhen, where fate paired us together as the Best Man and Maid of Honor. Our paths, it seemed, was destined to intertwine. After that memorable encounter, Sylvia returned to the U.S. to continue her career in healthcare analytics, while Kyle resumed his life in Shenzhen, practicing as a doctor. Despite the distance that lay between us, we found ourselves unable to forget the connection we'd made. This sparked a stream of overseas communication, and before we knew it, we were navigating the challenging, yet rewarding, waters of a long-distance relationship. For two years, we braved time zones and miles, strengthening our bond with each passing day.

In the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, December 2020 brought a much-needed spark of joy as Kyle journeyed to the U.S., reuniting with Sylvia. This reunion marked the start of their shared life in New Jersey, opening a new chapter of their journey together amid challenging times. The romance deepened when, in November 2021, Kyle proposed on the picturesque Virginia Beach. A resounding 'yes' led them to the next milestone. In December of the same year, they exchanged vows in a quaint white chapel in Las Vegas during a memorable road trip. This spontaneous, intimate wedding was the perfect culmination of their shared adventures and marked the beginning of their forever journey as a married couple.
