Angela tells the tale of how they met. “Henry and I met about 6 years ago through work. They both studied the same IT course at RMIT and began our working careers at the company through an internship program. We worked in different departments, Henry worked in the technical team and I, in the sales team. About five years ago, Henry and I had the opportunity to travel to Shanghai for work at separate occasion. During our time in Shanghai we both found a love for Xiao Long Bao (Shanghai Dumplings). Upon our return from our trip overseas, all we wanted was Dumplings. So we set out on a dumpling adventure. This is how our romantic relation began. ”

Angela recalls the proposal story, which took place in New York! “We got engaged in Central Park, New York. Henry hired a row boat and rowed it out to a quiet spot on the lake in front of the bow bridge, before popping the question on one knee. I was so afraid of the boat tipping over, I asked Henry to sit back on the boat before saying ‘yes’. It was so unexpected and romantic, I couldn’t have asked for a better proposal.”
