What took you to Hong Kong?
Peter: I was approached at the end of 2006 to move to Hong Kong to work on developing my company's business in Asia. After working in several roles in my previous six years with the company, I was looking for a new challenge and this presented the perfect opportunity.
Corin: Well, Pete was my main draw! From the personal side of things, we knew we needed to at least live on the same continent if we wanted to find out if we could work as a real couple. Pete had just moved here with his job, and I was doing freelance design in the United States, so I came over to try to find work.
How did the two of you meet?
Corin: We met at the Feast of Tabernacles in Italy in 2005. Although we didn't talk very much at that Feast, we kept in contact and our friendship grew over the next few years.
What convinced you to get married?
