Life is full of surprises. Three years ago if you tell me that I would get married today, I would have laughed and denied the possibility. I used to prefer doing things alone and see love as some kind of troubles. Somehow Vivian has changed me a lot. Like honey bees see honey, car enthusiasts see Ferrari, I love seeing her, holding her hands, walking together and whispering to her. I remember every important moment during these two and a half years, from our first dating (how can I forget?), our first overseas trip to my proposal to her and more...

I guess compare with most other couples our love journey has been fairly smooth. Perhaps because we have the same interests and values, we always feel comfortable together and rarely argue. Of course, there are moments of up and down, happiness and sorrow, but Vivian is always standing beside me and gives me strength. When I am upset, she comforts me. When I am angry, she calms me down. In fact, the longer we have been together the more I need her. That's why I decided to make a proposal to her... (and save her from waiting, haha)

I am glad that my hiking teammate did not join our jogging practice on April 3rd, 2004 - a date that I will remember forever. Because of his absence, I went alone with Vivian and, unexpectedly, it turned out to be our first date ! We talked all afternoon and discovered that we had so much thought in common and feeling so comfortable together, something I had never thought before.

Life is full of surprises.
