Scottish comedian Samantha Hannah was determined to find a good match within a year, so she boldly launched the dating app Tinder while traveling to New Zealand and Australia, hoping to add a good story to her life. At the end of 2017, when she was in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, she accidentally successfully matched with Toby Hunter, a man thousands of miles away in London, England.
Samantha is immersed in the joy of traveling, while missing her deceased brother, and hoping to regain her direction in life through comedy creation. In order to enrich her material, she publicly announced her "plan to find a husband" on Tinder and tried to contact many men, including Toby.
Toby is also at a turning point in his life, having just ended a long-term relationship and full of doubts about the future. He became interested in Samantha's unique personal profile. Although the two were on opposite sides of the world, they quickly grew closer due to their shared life experiences and similar interests and hobbies, and began frequent online communications.
A few weeks later, Samantha suddenly had the idea to call Toby across the ocean. Although their first call was short and somewhat dramatic, they deepened their mutual affection. Later, Samantha was even invited by Toby to visit his hometown in New Zealand with her friends and get to know his parents. This amazing experience left both parties feeling a special emotional connection.
On Christmas Eve 2017, Samantha decided to fly to London to meet Toby in reality. Although there was an episode when Toby was late due to traffic problems when they first met, Toby thoughtfully prepared her favorite British juice for Samantha, and this attentiveness made Samantha feel warm. In the days that followed, the two spent time together in London, and their relationship grew stronger.
As time goes by, the relationship between Samantha and Toby becomes deeper and deeper. They not only support each other in life, but also support each other in their respective careers. Samantha launched her comedy show How to Find a Husband in One Year at a London preview in July 2018, with Toby on hand to cheer her on.
In the end, Samantha did not "find a husband" within a year as originally planned, but she found a love that was more precious than expected. In 2021, the couple decided to move to New Zealand together and start a new chapter of life together. They shared quality time together, bought their own home, and continued to move forward in their comedy careers.
Although they are still not married yet, Samantha and Toby are open to their future plans. Through their respective growth experiences and emotional integration, they jointly explained what true happiness and satisfaction are. This romantic encounter originating from Tinder has now become a precious treasure in their lives, and it also reminds people: if you bravely pursue the unknown, life may bring unexpected beautiful surprises.
