Countdown finished!

Welcome to my Birthday website!


In a lifetime, you only turn 18 once.

Never again, will this age be seen.

I'm inviting you to make mine an event to look back at in time. Let's make memories together.


Hope to see you!

Growing Up Story

Back in 2023, we started as complete strangers. We crossed paths through an online dating app, and because our preferences matched, we began talking almost every day — exchanging messages all day and having late-night calls that quickly became part of our routine.

Eventually, we decided to meet in person for the first time.


From that moment, everything felt easy and natural, as if we had already known each other for a long time. Our first meeting soon led to a second, then a third, and many more beautiful moments together. As time passed, we introduced each other to our families and friends, slowly becoming part of each other’s lives.



Little did we know that behind those simple conversations and meetups, we were already building the same dream — a future together. Now, we are choosing to take our relationship into a lifetime of love, partnership, and forever.

Attire

FORMAL ATTIRE

Girls: Long evening dress
Boys:  Suit
avoid wear red/purple/violet color and not appropriate attire

It is an evening event so if you happen to own a suit or formal dress waiting at the back of your closet, feel free to flaunt them!


Dinner jackets, cardigans, polos, & vests would also be great. Think "cocktail party"! Suits for gentlemen and cocktail dresses for ladies are perfect.


Most importantly, come in an ensemble that makes you feel awesome!
