A dating app match has turned into an unusual international marriage. Tran Nguyen Anh, a 28-year-old electrician from Vinh Long, was working near Nha Trang. Feeling lonely, he opened a dating app and matched with Nastya, a Russian traveler from Moscow. The pair spoke halting English and leaned on translation tools. One day they saw a snake caught in a net by the roadside. He cut it free after she insisted on saving it, and his feelings began to change.
Later, severe flooding cut off his work area for nearly five days. When the water dropped, he rode through flooded roads to reach her. She hugged him, crying that she had missed him so much. The couple later moved to Da Nang to start a new life. Their wedding came just eight months after the day they first met.
