Young China neighbours who fell in love while chatting about interior design marry, keep separate homes on same floor
- Pair buy luxury flats on 11th floor, chat, exchange decor views
- Couple wed but want privacy, keep personal space in own abode
Two young neighbours in China who married after falling in love while swapping ideas about doing up their flats, have sparked a wave of delight on mainland social media.
Zhangtian and Minmin, from Zhejiang province in eastern China, bought properties next door to each other on the 11th floor of a block of luxury flats in 2022.
The couple did not know each other but would meet when they were decorating their homes before they moved in. Zhangtian is an interior designer, so Minmin would ask for his advice.
“I helped design the shoe cabinet by her door. It’s the same as mine,” he said.
As they got to know each other, they began to fall in love. They realised they have a lot in common in addition to interior design tastes, such as hobbies and enjoying sports.
They felt comfortable together and affection grew between them but they did not begin a romantic relationship immediately.
