Teodora Maria Bun and Menchilou Deo Antopina’s love story began with a swipe on Tinder and blossomed into a unique ritual of watching “RuPaul’s Drag Race” together in Singapore. Their shared love for the reality competition show, coupled with shots and karaoke nights, solidified their bond amidst the challenges of the pandemic.
Ms. Bun, a lawyer from Romania who now works in New York, and Ms. Antopina, an accountant from the Philippines who relocated to Singapore, navigated the uncertainties of a long-distance relationship with creativity and dedication. From staycations at luxurious hotels to dancing under disco lights in their apartment, the couple found ways to stay connected and make the most of their time together.
Their journey culminated in a romantic proposal in Taiwan and a joyous wedding ceremony in New York City, where they celebrated with family and friends. The couple’s shared passion for “Drag Race” and their playful drinking game added a touch of fun and excitement to their special day.
Now, as they embark on a new chapter in New York, Ms. Bun and Ms. Antopina continue to cherish the memories they created in Singapore and look forward to building a future together in the United States. Their love story is a testament to the power of connection, resilience, and shared interests in overcoming obstacles and finding happiness.
