Dive into the captivating love story of Trinh and Anthony, a friendly couple who met through a modern-age cupid dating app.

Trinh moved to the Bay Area for work at Samsung's Mountain View Campus during Labor Day Weekend in 2017 (Year of the Rooster). What was supposed to be a 1 year temporary assignment became 5.5 years due to COVID.

After about a year in CA, she attended a friend's birthday & her friend's wish was for Trinh to get on a dating app and go on some fun Bay Area dates! Trinh agreed with OkCupid because her birthday was after Valentine's Day and thought it was a sign. She loved the idea of Cupid pointing her to the right person.

While Anthony was stationed overseas in Europe, he knew he would be coming home soon and needed to prepare for his next chapter in life as a civilian. He was looking for the one he could take home to his family. He found Trinh within 2 weeks of her signing up for the dating app. He "Liked" her in the app and slid into her DM's.

After weeks of chatting, they decided to meet up. It was their second date that truly sparked the magic; a spirited match of billiards filled with gut-bursting laughter they shared that echoed louder than the surrounding hustle and bustle. From there, they remained friends and didn't reconnect until the holidays. Anthony reached out during Thanksgiving and they went on a friendly movie date.

While Trinh was out with friends for dinner, Anthony reached out. She mentioned she was at Banh Cuon Tay Ho and to their surprise, was minutes away from where Anthony lived. He rode over on his motorcycle and walked in with full gear on. When he realized they took an Uber to the restaurant, he said he will ride home to get his car to drive them home. Before he left, Anthony gently kissed Trinh's forehead and said he'll be right back.

They road e-bikes to Christmas in the Park that evening from Trinh's place in Downtown San Jose. They spent a magical evening enjoying the holiday festivities and hot fresh churros with hot chocolate. There was something in the air that night and they have been together ever since.

From there, love took its course and they plunged into an exhilarating roller-coaster of adventures and made every moment count. They moved in together mid-December 2019 into a 420 sq ft studio. Once the pandemic hit, they REALLY got to know each other. After one year, they moved into a 700 sq ft one bedroom apartment where they lived until they moved to Dallas last year into their new home.
