For some, love is a long journey. But for Anthonio Khwalsingh and Anniqua Robinson, it was a beautiful sprint. After building effortless chemistry online, a single face-to-face meeting was all it took to change their lives forever.

Connected by a mutual friend in April 2018, Anthonio and Anniqua used WhatsApp to learn more about their respective worlds, taking a real-world turn on December 19, 2018, when they met face-to-face at a mutual friend’s birthday celebration in downtown Kingston. Though an online spark had already been lit, it was Anthonio’s demeanour and sartorial flair that truly captivated Anniqua.
