We’re getting married!
Our Story

今年是小波和 Stephanie
相识的第 16 年，领证的第 3 年。
当时因为疫情的原因，没有举办婚礼。
疫情之后，他们搬到瑞士工作和生活。
This year marks the 16th year of Chengbo and Stephanie’s relationship, and the 3rd year since they officially got married.
Due to the pandemic, they didn’t have the chance to celebrate their wedding at the time. Afterward, they moved to Switzerland to live and work.
在此之前，两人经历了 11 年的异地。
他们在15 岁的时候认识对方。
最早是新娘在高中阶段去了美国读书，
后来大学毕业回到上海工作；
再后来，新郎前往美国攻读博士。
在这十几年的时间里，异地始终是他们关系中的一部分。
异地的考验没有把他们分开，
而疫情也只是延后了婚期。
但他们都觉得，这反而是一件更好的事情。
在领证之后，两人都变得更加成熟，也更清楚什么是两个人一起生活、
一起承担。
Before that, they spent 11 years in a long-distance relationship.
They first met at the age of 15, during their first year of high school. Stephanie went to the United States for high school, later returned to Shanghai after college, and eventually Chengbo moved to the U.S. to pursue his PhD.
Throughout all those years, long distance was always part of their story.
But it never pulled them apart
The pandemic only postponed their wedding, not their commitment.
Looking back, they both feel that the timing turned out to be even better. After getting married, they grew more mature and developed a deeper understanding of what it truly means to build a life together and share responsibilities.
现在，他们是彼此最好的朋友，
也是世界上最了解对方的人。
共同的话题越来越多，越来越默契，生活的节奏也逐渐一致。
周末的时候，他们喜欢一起吃美食、研究菜谱、一起做饭；
喜欢自然，散步、徒步；
也喜欢去世界各地旅行，吃当地的食物，看不同地方的人们如何生活。
从曾经打通宵电话，到现在依然有说不完的话、犯不完的傻，聊不完的天
Today, they are each other’s best friends—and the ones who know each other best in the world.
They share more and more in common, understand each other more intuitively, and have found a rhythm in life that feels just right.
On weekends, they love exploring food from all over the world and experimenting with recipes (they’re both pretty good cooks).
They enjoy nature—walking, hiking—and traveling the world together: tasting local cuisine and discovering the way people live in different parts of the world.
From staying up all night on the phone when they first fell in love, to still having endless things to talk about, laugh about, and be silly about today—some things have never changed.
