#AnshIsClairelyInLove
年月匆匆流轉，當年，安許是香港科技大學的大三學子，而敬佳則是臺灣師範大學的大四生。他們的人生道路在遙遠的加拿大，英屬哥倫比亞大學的交換計劃中交織起舞。在一次交流生聚會的緣分下，彼此走進了彼此的心房，並相互成為了Facebook上的好友。
這段奇妙的緣分並未就此終止，僅僅一周後，敬佳在加拿大北部的黃刀鎮與極光相依的照片打破了平靜。安許怦然心動——或許是被極光的奧秘震撼，或者是敬佳的美麗讓他神魂顛倒（哈哈）。他渴望更深入了解這位迷人的女孩，於是在臉書上私訊了她，他們決定在她回到溫哥華後共進午餐。
安許和敬佳選擇了校園內一家港式麵館作為約會地點。兩人的交談持續了數小時，驚訝地發現彼此在眾多層面上如此相似。當他們離開餐廳時，夜晚已悄悄低垂，人們紛紛進餐廳享受晚餐的美味。安許親自送敬佳回宿舍後，與朋友們一起觀看冰球比賽。他們或許以為這段美好時光會稍縱即逝，卻不曉得，從那一天開始，一段美妙的愛情故事已經悄然展開。
經過兩個月的相處，安許和敬佳開啟了一段跨越不同城市和國度的五年異地戀。即便在疫情的蔓延期間，他們甚至有一年半未能相聚。然而，他們的愛情愈加深厚，最終，敬佳遷至美國，與安許再次相聚。
時光荏苒，來到2022年的三月，在華盛頓特區的櫻花季，敬佳提議與安許拍攝一組美麗的情侶照。安許抓住了這難得的機會，讓室友擔任這次「攝影師」的角色。敬佳在Tidal Basin與他們相會，為拍照擺姿勢，然而，她並不知道，其實安許的室友正在錄影，將接下來的一切都記錄下來。安許向敬佳呈上一束玫瑰花，手機播放起Bruno Mars的"Marry You"。然後，在敬佳終身難忘的時刻，安許單膝跪地，深情地用中文說道："你願意嫁給我嗎？"
Ansh was a junior at HKUST in Hong Kong and Claire was a senior at NTNU in Taipei. They were both on exchange for one semester at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. They met at a party for exchange students and added each other on Facebook.
A week later, Claire posted a photo with the Northern Lights in Yellowknife in northern Canada. Ansh was stunned - by the lights, of course. He wanted to know more about this girl, so he messaged her. She asked him out for lunch.
Claire and Ansh went to a Hong Kong noodle shop on campus. They talked for hours and hours because they couldn’t believe how similar they were. People had already started coming in for dinner by the time they left the restaurant. Ansh dropped Claire back to her dorm, which she found very touching. But then he left her to go watch an ice hockey game with his friends, in truly Ansh fashion. Nevertheless, a love story had begun that day.
Two months of being together was followed by more than five years of long distance - in different cities, countries, and continents. They didn't even see each other for 1.5 years during the pandemic. But their love grew stronger, and eventually Claire moved to the US to be close to Ansh again.
It was March 2022. Claire wanted to do a photoshoot with Ansh at the cherry blossoms in Washington, DC. Ansh seized the opportunity. Ansh's roommate obliged to be the photographer for this 'photoshoot'. Claire met them at the Tidal Basin and started posing for photos, not knowing that the camera was on video mode. Ansh gave her a bouquet of roses and played 'Marry You' by Bruno Mars on his phone. Then, in the best surprise of Claire's life, Ansh went down on one knee and said:
"Will you marry me?" (in Mandarin)
"你願意嫁給我嗎?"
"Will you marry me?"
