I didn’t manage to tie the knot with someone I loved 20 years ago. So when I heard about her divorce, I searched for her number from 20 years ago and contacted her on a whim. Fortunately, her number was still the same, so we managed to reconnect. We are at an age where we do not want to waste time, so I suggested that we get married and she said yes. We will be living together after registering our marriage. Please congratulate me on my late marriage.
The pair officially married on 8th February 2022 in Seoul, South Korea, and later listed it in Taipei.
