From High School Crush to Forever – Vincent & Yoko’s Winter Elopement in Banff ❄️💒
Vincent and Yoko’s love story is nothing short of a romantic movie – filled with patience, trust, and years of enduring love across continents. Their breathtaking winter elopement in Banff is a testament to the power of true love and unwavering commitment.
Their Journey:
Vincent and Yoko first crossed paths in high school back in 2007. Vincent, a shy sophomore, had a crush on Yoko, a first-year student. Too nervous to talk to her, he secretly gifted her an orange teddy bear through a cousin. Little did he know, Yoko had a crush on him too! Their friendship blossomed during a school camping trip, and by December 2009, they officially became high school sweethearts.
A Love Tested by Distance:
Life had other plans as they pursued their dreams. After a year together, they embarked on a long-distance relationship—Vincent staying in the province while Yoko moved to Manila for college. For nearly five years, they saw each other only once a year, holding on to their love through patience, trust, and endless phone calls.
In 2015, they reunited in Manila, only to face another separation when Yoko took a job opportunity in the UAE. Two years later, unable to bear the distance any longer, Vincent followed her to the UAE, proving once again that love knows no boundaries.
The Proposal:
On July 1st, 2021, during a vacation in the stunning mountains of Kazbegi, Georgia, Vincent planned the perfect surprise proposal. Under the guise of a photoshoot, Vincent popped the question amidst the breathtaking scenery. With a heart full of nerves and excitement, he asked Yoko to spend forever with him. She had no idea it was coming—a moment that had been months in the making.
Though they originally planned to marry the following year, life led them down different paths once more. Vincent moved to Ontario, Canada, for a new opportunity, while Yoko remained in the UAE. Despite the distance, their love remained steadfast.
The Winter Elopement in Banff:
Now, in 2025, after years of being apart, Vincent and Yoko finally made their dream come true by eloping in the majestic winter wonderland of Banff. Yoko traveled all the way from the UAE to Canada to marry the love of her life. With the snow-covered mountains as their witness, they sealed their vows, proving that patience and trust can withstand any challenge.
Their love story is a reminder that true love endures, no matter how far apart you are. From a shy teenage crush to a stunning winter elopement, Vincent and Yoko’s journey is one of faith, resilience, and the unbreakable bond they share.
