Deaf at the age of two, Jose always wanted to conquer the highest peaks and travel everywhere, so he chose photography as a career. He came to Vietnam on his schedule to explore Southeast Asia.

On that occasion, Jose connected with American friends living in Vietnam. They invited other deaf friends, including Bui Lan Anh.

That day, a group of young people put their heads together and talked about many things in sign language. Jose is drawn towards Lan Anh, the most beautiful, funny and vibrant girl.

He raised his camera to take a picture of the group and laughed when he saw Lan Anh teasing him. "At that moment, I knew for sure that Lan Anh was the perfect half of my life," Jose said.

He fell in love with Lan Anh, but at that time Jose did not know that she was Miss Deaf Vietnam in 2015 and second runner-up in the Miss and Mister Deaf International contest in the US in 2016.

Lan Anh learned international sign language while competing in the Miss Deaf beauty pageant in the US and has many foreign friends, so she can talk to Jose without any hesitation. She just sees him as other new friends. When the American photographer said he loved her just after meeting for the first time, Lan Anh refused. "I also said frankly that I didn't like a bald man," she recalled.

Leaving Vietnam, the American boy "bombarded" his social network accounts with messages, even though the girl did not accept the friend request. "For half a year, he persistently called and texted to inquire without missing a day. I kept waiting to see how long he could keep it up," she said.

"There is no one I can talk to and confide in so many things. Every day I love her more and more," Jose said. Lan Anh also sympathized more with her foreign friend, admiring him for his caring words and gentle inquiries. "I think he's funny and likes to do tricks just like me. In him, I find harmony," she said.

This time, the Vietnamese girl prepared a beautiful little cake and blew out the candles from afar with him. "He confessed his love. Seeing me nod.
