Our Story我们的故事
We met on HelloTalk (a language-exchange app) before either of us had set foot in the other's country. Later, when we each went traveling — Michael through China, Lina through the US — we swapped tips across a screen the whole way. Half a year of messages later, Lina flew home to China while Michael was still there, and we finally met in person.
Two weeks after that first meeting, Michael invited Lina to spend Christmas with his family in the US. And, oddly enough, she said yes. We've been circling the globe together ever since, spending a few months each year in each of our favorite places: Chaozhou, Kunming, the Netherlands, and the US.
The proposal was a sunrise picnic on Dali's Erhai Lake, where Michael asked the most romantic question of all time: “Do you want your ring now, or later?” Now we're gathering everyone we love in one place to celebrate. :)
我们相识于语言交换软件 HelloTalk——那时我们都还没去过对方的国家。后来我们各自出发旅行——迈克游中国，丽娜游美国——一路上隔着屏幕交换旅途心得。聊了大半年后，丽娜回国，而迈克恰好还在中国，我们才第一次见面。
见面才两周，迈克就邀请丽娜去美国和家人一起过圣诞——她竟然（莫名其妙地）答应了。从那以后，我们便一起环游世界，每年在各自最爱的几个地方各住上几个月——潮州、昆明、荷兰、美国。
求婚是在大理洱海边的一场日出野餐，迈克问出了『史上最浪漫』的一句话：「你想现在戴上戒指，还是等一会儿？」如今，我们想把所有心爱的人聚到一起，一同庆祝。:)
