💍 I Du(olingo)

Every love story is unique, but Amanda and Rob Ciesielski may be the first to have met via Duolingo.
💍 The meet-cute: It all started in 2021 when Amanda noticed a user on the language learning app constantly sending "congratulations" messages when she met different milestones. Curious to connect with him IRL, the Filipino woman did some digging on Facebook and was able to get in touch with Rob in America.
- The rest is history. Over the next two years, Amanda and Rob fell in love via video calls and care packages sent from across the world.
👰🏻 Here comes the bride: The couple were married in the Phillipines last year surrounded by family and friends. In honor of the app, they had bilingual signs and greetings for their multicultural guests.
- "I am still floored to this day that I met him on a language learning app," Amanda said. "Who would have thought learning a language on a mobile app could bring you true love?"
