How we met

Our beautiful adventure began on August 1st, 2024, when Ami reached out to Benjamin out of the blue on the language exchange app HelloTalk, after spotting one of his posts. Little did we know that this simple message would completely change our lives.

Our first phone call lasted for hours, and by the end, we were both thinking, “I have to talk to this person more.” From that moment on, we spoke every single day. Just 26 days later, on August 27th, we finally met in person in Tokyo.

Over the next few weeks, we spent unforgettable time together in Tokyo and Sendai, and by the end of September, we both knew without a doubt that we were meant to be. Just six months later, in January 2025, we sealed our love with a wedding in Japan, ready to start this incredible journey together.

It’s been an amazing ride already, and we can’t wait to see where it takes us next!
