Love Story
Hershey and Darren first heard of each other when they both found out that they were going to be secondary sponsors for a common friend's wedding. Before meeting personally at the wedding, the two did their own research to find out how each other looks like. Both single, each tried to see if they could be more than just acquaintances even after the event. When the day came, however, neither of them recognized each other right away until they got to the church.
Right before the march, Hershey and Darren finally met, and both admit that they felt butterflies then. Come the reception, Darren took the chance to approach Hershey and get to know her more. From that moment on, they knew that they shared something special. Even if Darren flew back to London, they would still make time to communicate through Skype. With such efforts, it didn't take long for them to become a couple--and they got engaged six months after.
