Spring

When everything began to bloom

Cycled to Regent's Park during lockdown, and stumbled upon the (apparently very famous) cherry blossom lane. The feeling was super magical!
Cherry blossoms in Regent's Park

Regent's Park, London

Cherry blossom season became our thing. Every year, without fail, we'd go on a sakura hunt together.

Under cherry blossoms

Greenwich Park, London

Yu Zon is eternally grateful to the lady who has an entire website dedicated to tracking when the cherry blossoms are blooming in Greenwich Park.

Cherry blossoms and magnolias in Notting Hill

Notting Hill, London

We went cherry blossom and magnolia hunting in Notting Hill โ€” looking at houses we can't afford, and laughing about how crazy it would be to live in a place like that one day.

Summer

Chasing the sun together

We were sitting on the steps of a square in Noto, Sicily with Ling and Heng as a local artist was singing La Donna Cannone and everyone was singing together with him. We can still hear and smell that sweet summer night.
Plitvice Lakes, Croatia

Plitvice Lakes, Croatia

The water really is that blue... blessed to see unreal views together.

Snowdonia, Wales

Snowdonia, Wales

Hiked up a random mountain in Snowdonia with Nick, Sherman, and RJ. This was our first hike together!

Mt Etna, Sicily

Mt Etna, Sicily

Our first visit to an active volcano. Dark lava fields, dramatic clouds, and wind so strong we could barely stand. Unforgettable.

Autumn

Falling for each other, again and again

We were visiting Hyde Park to catch the last of the autumn leaves in London. GJ had the random idea to go on one of those pedal boats on the Serpentine. Spontaneous activities always turn into core memories for us!
Busan, South Korea

Busan, South Korea

Arms wide open at Gamcheon Culture Village with the Little Prince statue. We felt like kids again.

Lake District, UK

Lake District, UK

The moment Guo Jie told Yu Zon she was so bad at throwing pebbles she should just leave the lake. Bet you never guessed that backstory ;).

London, UK โ€” golden autumn

London, UK

Our first visit to Hyde Park in autumn โ€” when we fell in love with the season, the crunch of leaves underfoot, and the way the sun turned everything gold.

Winter

The cold that kept us close

One night it was snowing like mad - we were living with Nick and Krystal in the Olympic Village at the time, and we decided to head down to Victory Park to build a snowman. This is us singing Do You Want to Build a Snowman (which was already kind of YZ's song at this point).
Oslo

Oslo, Norway

Our first skiing experience thanks to Hedda and Sigurd who guided us newbies. YZ fell approximately 47 times while GJ pretended not to count. Oh, she also crashed into a pizza restaurant at peak lunch hour, but that's a story for another day.

Oslo, Norway

Oslo, Norway

This was when GJ tagged along while YZ was on a work trip in Oslo. We watched one of the most beautiful sunsets ever on the rooftop of the Opera House. YZ felt like she was very creative for thinking of this photo op.

New Year's Eve 2026

New Year's Day, London

We waited four hours in the cold with friends to watch the NYE fireworks. It was worth every frozen minute โ€” we rang in 2026 together.

Family photo
Christmas morning

Home

Christmas morning with Esther and Timothy. We always have a warm home (and board game cafe) in Liverpool thanks to them.

Cherry blossoms with friends

London, UK

The perfect afternoon โ€” picnicking on the grass with family and cherry blossoms.

Penang cendol

Penang, Malaysia

Penang Road cendol is LITERALLY the best. Family trip to prove it.

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Seoul, South Korea

Visited Seoul and Busan on a Chow family trip. We ate so much on this trip, our album is almost entirely about food.

Our First Valentine Together
First musical

First Musical

Our first musical together, and not the last. Lion King, The Waitress, Hamilton, Frozen, Les Mis... and we're nowhere near done.

First trip

First Trip

The first trip together. 11 countries later, and the suitcase still gets packed the night before.

First IKEA trip

First IKEA Trip

A meatball lunch, the giant blue bag, half a flat in flatpack form. Properly grown-up.

First vaccines

First Vaccines

Two vaccine cards, side by side. The most romantic thing about 2021.

First friend's wedding

First Friend's Wedding

The first friend's wedding we attended as a couple. Turns out we love nothing more than celebrating love. (Including yours, if you're reading this.)

First visit to Langkawi

First Visit to Langkawi

YZ's first visit to Langkawi in 2024. GJ's home, and the place that means the most to him. We didn't know it yet, but we'd be getting married on this island.

First visit to Shifen

First Visit to Shifen

YZ's other half (the Taiwanese half), and the first time GJ got to see it. We wrote our wishes on a lantern in Shifen. Some have already come true.

Birthdays together

Birthdays Together

Many birthdays together. This is just one of them. (Children's-day theme: headbands, fast food, plushies, no regrets.)

First run together

First Run

Our first run together: a 5K. (We'd signed up for the 10K. Chickened out the morning of.) Step one of getting fit together. We'll get there.
