Our Love Story

Van & Yheng’s Story

Van and Yheng met in an online world—through TikTok.

Both were single, quietly searching for meaning, growth, and genuine connection. One day, Van came across a post Yheng shared about finding oneself, moving on in life, and learning to love one’s mental health. Something about her words resonated deeply.

It started simply—with a like and a follow.

With no common friends and no way to message yet, Van did something unexpected. Every single day, he liked one post on Yheng’s account—old posts, new posts, one at a time. Consistent. Intentional. Genuine.

It caught her attention.

Who is this guy? Do I know him? Does he want to know me?

Curiosity turned into interest, and interest turned into a follow back. That small moment opened the door to something bigger. Van sent Yheng a message on TikTok, conversations flowed to Instagram, then to Facebook—until their worlds slowly intertwined.

Soon after, Van made a bold decision. He traveled to Pampanga to finally meet Yheng in person. What started online became real, and that meeting changed everything. Van took a leap of faith—moving to Pampanga to start over, find new opportunities, and build a new life, with Yheng by his side.

Love followed naturally.

On April 15, 2023, under the lights of the Aurora Festival—surrounded by fireworks, music, and dancing—Van and Yheng made their love official. The world around them was loud, but all they could hear was the sound of their hearts choosing each other.

A year later, in April 15 2024, Van asked Yheng to spend forever with him—and she said yes.

Now, they stand hand in hand, preparing to tie the knot and begin the next chapter of their story—one built on intention, courage, love, and the beautiful journey that began with a single post and one meaningful like.
