I've heard the sweetest and even the weidrest story on how love surprisingly unite 2 people and tie them into a long life commitment called marriage, but Andi and Adelene's story is one one the funniest story I've ever heard and it still make me smile everytime I recall how they shared their story with us that day.

Let me start this story with a massive flood that covered Jakarta in 2013, at that time everybody was stucked and stranded at their home and not many activities we can do but perhaps taking our cell phone and started chatting until everything started to be boring and random things like pressing "Look Around" menu in WeChat Apps was seems to be normal. (Come on, how many of Jakartans use WeChat? ) But that's how they first knew each other. Two strangers, stranded at their home and said "Hi" to each other.

From that time, Andi & Adele often had conversations on the phone, but they never actually met each other. Until one day, Andi asked Adele to meet together somewhere in Jakarta. All of their friends said that they are crazy but all the connections they'd made must tested in real world.

I remembered when they shared this story, with a super excited face, Adele said "at that time I was wearing a very sharp and strong stiletto shoes just in case this man was a freak and tried to kidnap me, so I would be ready to slap him in the face with my shoe and run" :)

But Andi turns out to be far from being a freak. The connection they had in WeChat is just a small top of what they actually have. And they started to see this bonding is too precious to keep it still in a friendship zone.

And that day, on August 8, 2015, 2 years after their crazy beginning and 2 years full of surprises and interesting things, they finally tied the knot and together they said "I Do". And we were very proud to have witnessed this precious event of their life and to put it into frames one by one.

Here's the thing that I found. Love always find its way to impress you and to prove you that there are no bounderies for Love to manifest itself. From a casual meeting at your friend's birthday party, to a random chat in a very uncommon chat app when you stranded in a massive flood.  The most important thing is to prepare yourself to live the best of your life every single day because you never knew when or how Love will impress you.

Thanks Andi & Adele for this beautiful story. We heard the good news too about the new life that you guys are waiting, we feel blessed and cannot wait to see Andi Junior ^^.

Lots of Love
