Selfie from 2012, met in 2014
Jen Chai's selfie from 2012 has recently garnered viral attention after she noticed her husband Jon in the background. What makes this discovery even more intriguing is that Jen and Jon didn't meet until 2014, two years after the photo was taken.
Despite being captured in the background of Jen's selfie years before they crossed paths, Jon had no idea he was part of the picture. Fast forward to August last year, the couple tied the knot, marking a significant milestone in their journey, 11 years after Jon unknowingly appeared in Jen's snapshot.
While sharing her discovery on Instagram the 32-year-old wrote, ¡°We met at the right time. If it was before, I don¡¯t think the relationship would have lasted. I was a narcissistic monster, unaware and naive. Took me a year of travelling and being single to reflect and realise my own mistakes. That¡¯s when we met. ¡®The right person will always find you at the right time.¡±
"We were at the same place but didn't know each other existed," a text insert on the video reads. The video goes on to show that they officially met in December 2014, and got married in August 2023.
Post gathered over 4 lakh likes
Her post garnered over four lakh likes since it was shared on December 26, further amplifying the viral sensation surrounding their extraordinary love story. Her husband, Jon, commented on it and wrote, ¡°So glad you didn¡¯t meet me in the first picture. We were meant to go on our own journey¡¯s. We met a few years later at the perfect time.¡±
The internet was abuzz with astonishment as the remarkable coincidence unfolded, leaving many users in awe and wonder. Some attributed it to fate, others couldn't help but express their fascination with the uncanny connection between the selfie from 2012 and the eventual union of Jen and Jon years later.
Internet in disbelief
One user asked, ''I'm curious when did u find out he was in the same photo as you, was it after u guys got together?'' Another commented, ''Omg this is so magical!! Fate brought you guys together.''
Someone joked, ¡°Plot twist, he¡¯s actually a hardcore stalker.¡± A fourth said, ''Awww what a love story.'' A fifth user wrote, ''Destiny be like.''
However, the majority of comments on the post echoed the sentiment that this incident perfectly exemplifies the "invisible string theory." This theory, deeply rooted in folklore, suggests that two soulmates destined to meet are connected by an invisible thread. This cosmic string stays intact regardless of the time and distance, and the couple that is meant to be together always comes together.
