Our story began in Leeds in 2019, when Chau’s student visa had only six months left. Those months in England were unforgettable and love blossomed, but we couldn’t have known where our love would take us.

Chau returned to Vietnam in early 2020. Two months later, David came to visit, not knowing that was the last time we would see each other for two long years…

We were kept apart but our love grew stronger. Video calls at lunchtime for one and bedtime for the other, were what we looked forward to most during those days.

In late 2021, Chau returned to England for a magical few weeks, but the reunion did not last long as Chau headed to Melbourne in early 2022. Six more months of long distance and longer time differences followed.

Our reunion was finally permanent when Chau returned once again to England, this time on study away for six months. We moved in together, and later got engaged in Robin Hood’s Bay, recalling our first trip together in 2019.

Since then life has been a rollercoaster as we moved to Hanoi for 3 months in March 2023, before finally heading to Melbourne together in June.

Our journey may be called a "happy ending," but in reality, it's a joyous beginning.
