wife jasmine while ice climbing we think it's about time he's visited the home country of his loved one Talan I remember we were sitting in our room at home and she's like John there's this PLC said we have to enter a video and she spent nine hours making the one-minute video for myself I've never won anything I went to my boss and I said chef I kind of entered a contest too when I come to get a trip to Taiwan and he's like haha whatever but he didn't believe me one guy in Canada winning a trip to Thai why just unheard of so it's one of the most special trips I've ever taken to give John an unforgettable first time experience honeymoon and wedding all in one Patti is gonna show John and Jasmine the romantic side of Taiwan I think I smell love in the air Taiwan is a beautiful and interesting island with a fascinating mix of natural sights and urban landscapes make it an ideal location for a wedding photoshoot and because the wedding photoshoot industry in Taiwan is already very sophisticated Lee developed you get great service creative styles and trust me they are experts in making the couples look like superstars so for a once-in-a-lifetime experience I think Taiwan is a great choice they won't let you down the popularity of traveling to Taiwan to get wedding photos taken has grown in the past years among many newly weds to make their memory less forever no matter if it's western-style wedding gown Chinese traditional wedding gown or even Taiwanese Aboriginal metronomic costumes the wedding industry in Taiwan definitely can grant the newlyweds wishes professional photographers creative makeup artists and aesthetic works combine to make Taiwan top choice for wedding services as I was mentioning about creativity the couples were challenged for a special one underwater wedding photoshoot and I gotta say Taizong has everything they need first a wedding photo shoot planner check second deepest pool in Asia check and third a decent underwater photographer well John and Jasmine have a mission to accomplish underwater wedding photography Wow yeah and we were recommended by our friend Rex find you okay great good choice much underwater experience okay don't worry here the dark you miss the dips are poor in Asia so the button depth is wrong 21 meters oh don't worry there's a 1.3 and 305 metres so again try it step by steps yeah okay no no waves no nothing and they're good water temperature perfect sure so just get going yeah I'm not much of a water guy so I get a little bit nervous and it comes to being underwater so and the nerves are built up kind of nightmare too but I'm really excited to try to conquer the fear I've had some underwater modeling experience before but only like super cold lakes in Canada and then trying to open your eyes you know in the cold water and with my eyes already so small so it was so hard for me yeah but anyways yeah it was hard but it was fun I know that's why I'm in it at first I was really nervous of breathing and I'm getting used to regulate in my ears and I took something getting used to honestly I wasn't worried about the couple at all because I knew the adventurous blood was running in their veins and it felt really good to introduce my Rakhi friends to the water world to my world and even better seeing them loving it so after the scuba diving we moved off to the serious business which is the underwater photo shoot but we're mainly here for and as for me I'm now Jasmine's personal assistant underwater checking our makeup and her skirt underneath the water boys I'm all right we're all suited up yeah here we are yeah you're dressed up so beautifully and all your makeup is done and I see John you're a bit nervous no I'm good you're good I'm ready oh I saw you praying this then yeah so we'll test and try ready to get in the water again a little bit of a different way see I've opened my eyes underwater a few times at the swimming pool so I'm not too worried about that I'm more worried about to not being able to breathe underwater what yeah I'm excited I don't know how long love each other of course you do but we show that so grab her ass yeah we met our photographer Yoko at the door who's super nice gave us a lot of advice staying relaxed stay calm you know he was very professional told us to take a little bit of scuba diving to get us used to it which was a lot of fun and after that we went to the deeper part well I was nervous to begin with as well because of the dress I was having trouble like kicking my legs and then I got tangled several times but with all the help from the rescue team and then I was getting more relaxed and then we were getting better and better even if you're a rough person being in the water I think the most important thing that John kept so calm even if you were actually really nervous is you have like this really strong mental training before oh yeah definitely it's one of the things you have to have fear finding damn is the mental fortitude strength in their private life it's just not my forte is I sink like a rock it really helped tired it was work but it was worth it yeah we're excited to see them today we went and saw that gal May wetlands which is a home to a whole bunch of wind turbines giant windmills and I wanted to go check it out because we have a lot back home we wanted to see the similarities and then we also wanted to see the sunset but it was a little bit cloudy so we didn't get too much of sunset but what we did see was these birds medium and by Lucy's yes yeah and those little crabs a whole bunch of little crap yeah and then one of the coolest things I've seen our walking fish I've never seen them before fish that walks on the land is kind of cool Wow so weird it's so cool yeah it was really really cool place okay what's flight which one which one Thank You Birds yeah okay so this is Jasmine and we're gonna pick up his husband John and he flew all the way from Canada really excited seafood it's great I was really nervous to start it was my longest flight but no I'm really excited I know you're really exhausted already oh yeah but there's one more most important the most important thing is family family you've seen mom right I have an sister and sister this time it's daddy time oh yes yes that's not doesn't have me nervous at all already saying more when you say daddy like I said I wasn't gonna be able to meet her father for a few years and now I get to meet him the one thing I regret not doing was asking him if I could marry his daughter right

from the flight in yeah three one is kuzey C does the first thing that comes to mind night market and food isn't what I hear about I showed them to my water world and now it's their time to show me there's John and Jasmine's relationship started and was built firmly upon all sorts of adventurous activities especially climbing so to know their world better we moved ourselves to Xiaomei sheep which it was a river located in the beautiful valleys of nantou I was about to experience an adventure requiring climbing skills excitement and a passion for life with the couple's ha mrs. John I often get you nice to meet you I took you to my world for some scuba diving and it's time for you guys to take me to be warmer yeah yeah lots of equipment huh I'm excited to show Patti my world too this is something I'm a little more familiar with I'm not so much a deep water guy but a canyon water or a river water with that that's something I can get behind get used to me I'm pretty nervous honestly but I think I'll conquer and I think they're willing to help here's a diagram of this hunter Network account number power boo boos oh good a cuckoo home energy back to your dog time okay this is fly-fishing they were experts in climbing especially John but in this activity I saw their love and their caring for each other like John is always behind jasmine and always asking baby are you okay I find it it's just in my heart to keep her safe she's the most special woman I've ever met she accepts me for me she is so happy and smiley and I don't want anything to ever happen to her so I'll follow her anywhere to keep her that way we met for the very first time only briefly we never talked I was ice climbing with my friend Jeff a couple of cute girls walked by and I asked my friend who's that and he ignored me Oh so that was it and our first real date was climbing 120 meters it was a 5/8 multi bitch super fun so much fun suppose me yeah and then we walked back down to the car and that's where I gave her the first kiss and after that information the garden for you oh it's serious if you slip you will get hurt you're not gonna die but you could hurt yourself so no it's like high school it's pirate victory there okay like a chimney baby sometimes just old push hard push push yeah baby watch your foot nice work baby I think Patti found herself in there she was scared but we started and then sure enough she like yeah June joy that really really well I think when I met Jasmine she was already an outdoor throw these does you love photography and love to be outside then once we met we vote that shared interests and yeah the fun really hasn't stopped the second waterfall we had to swim of it to reach the waterfall then to climb and you know swimming against the strong force was really really tough I felt like a salmon fish swimming upon this whole thing and when I got to the climbing part I had no more pretty strength so I was like I need help i need help come on push push push me up so much fun I think it's time for lunch ah yeah burn up a lot of calories yes I stood in South right so we gonna enjoy one of the most famous Taiwanese delicate lunch is one of the Taiwanese delicacies instant noodles but all as always they always beef up the instant noodles with like pork balls and tofu smalls some really delicious vegetables it was amazing I was great nothing like having it dinner with your feet in the water liter one yeah okay so after lunch we're going back now right yeah okay we'll go on the same track or fine down what do we do better you will see give you some more excitement hey surprise normally in Canada everywhere we go we have to let's say hike one couple hours three hours to get to the spot that we want to climb but here like you can just park and they always right there you can start the outdoor stuff and if you're an outdoor person this is a really amazing spot to be so if there's so much to do here pull em up and you jump or slide them yeah I got to jump like five meters or something into a little pool the wide area and he can't jump too far we'll catch up to clothes it was fun he hit a rock nothing major he does see no snap and after all the excitement I'm really happy I did quite well and they were really really caring for me and after the extreme things I'm gonna take them to some good news but that's hardcore up in the mountains to see one of the best views in Taiwan I know you guys are crazy for outdoor activities and after the waterfall climbing it's a bit extreme for me so now I'm gonna take you to another place but she had the adventurous feeling but okay a little drier you see that the suspension up there idea you get the best view of the middle part of Taiwan so let's go up when we first arrived here it was beautiful super blue sky very sunny it's beautiful a lot nicer for me so this is the longest suspension bridge in the highest altitude of Taiwan Service says typing led into the clouds obviously there's no this suspension bridge is linking two mountains this is typing mountain and over there it's Turtle Mountain and on your right-hand side this is the john inflate and it's one of the most prosperous areas of Taiwan you get lovely produce the fruits the vegetables and very famous for tea as well and also beautiful flowers orchids and beat on that scenery is totally different here mountains have trees covering them tropical crazy green trees covered in spiders we have mountains covered in spiders but no trees it's beautiful totally different and I'm sure you're not afraid of heights don't scare you know so this is just another beautiful angle of the mountain I like this one it's 300 something meters down so not so high for you uh well you know longer than my rope we don't have many suspension bridges where I live and if they are there I think there's one maybe walk across the others have been washed away by the rivers so it was really cool they can get on a big one a judgement what did you order Mountain tea Ali Mountain tea don't give it a try yes really really famous in Taiwan yep and since we're on Ali Mountain we have a mission also connected to AB note okay you ready for your next month yeah after all the adventure have a look Taiwan is a really popular travel destination for couples because you'll find that there's a lot of romantic under ways so John I highly recommend that you head to Ali son where you can take Jasmine to explore the morning sunrise or even stargaze at night I'm sure you're gonna find plenty of reasons to fall in love mm-hmm and me I will be your photographer for the day so Cheers Ali Mountain yes I love to my wife how meaningful it is to have the ancient woods declare your love wedding under a divine tree is watched over by ancient trees as newlyweds deal their lifelong commitment underneath signifying everlasting love fortune and happiness but I'm quite sure the couples are already really securely tied up together just like their safety nuts in the climbing gear we're now at the a leash on National Forest Park and this is around like 2000 something altitude high from above the sea and how are you enjoying this weather oh it's beautiful this is my kind of temperature and look at my house everybody's putting jackets on Taiwanese it's still kind of hot it's not seriously oh this is perfect weather but we were talking about the sea of clouds you can see over there it's slowly forming there's many many different kinds of trees Cypress cedar Taiwan fir and maybe like hundreds of years old to go see some of the oldest trees in Taiwan that's one of our missions the next one and so and that's gonna be awesome and declare our love in front of these old trees yeah I went there when that was a look at so you'd be nice to go with my husband now right in front of us over here we're heading to this memorial statue because people still cut trees down timber use so this is to kind of calm the spirits down this bears up the tree so it's kind of a religious thing and it started from the Japanese rules ages it's beautiful yeah and let's move on over there that's the most important one the most sacred one and guess how old it is under 2,000 honestly it's two thousand and three hundred and that's when our ancestors were still like mites cells the aged about two thousand already Cypress so this is the the old guy you guys are meeting and in front of it a grandpa this is where I'm useful more useful I'm gonna take some photos for you all right yeah this is my first time in the sacred forest the sake of trees goes fantastic really beautiful it's nice to see the memorials to the trees and that twenty three hundred year old tree just kind of blew me away it was a really really big okay very weird look this is your room really nice room what's up Japan yeah very Japanese good night Seto okay guys good morning good morning it's 4:00 a.m. in the morning Jasmine how was your nap last night it was good short very short but now we're in a Lee Suns railway station so this railway was built originally for logging so it's quite narrow quite small and why we're here this early is because we're gonna see the sunrise going into the valleys for the best spot Thanks so last time I was here seeing the sunrise was five years old so it's good to be back in ten years yeah waking up today was a little bit difficult but like you say we do wake up this early to go up mountains are going climbing we call it the Alpine start so if we've been known to wake up early in order to submit it before noon we can lie down to shore to it Wow we took this way of train the old Japanese logging trade it was really really nice super old beautiful forests through the darkness and then back through the Sun it was great super short door for you I have been here before a couple of times but it's first time with my husband Wow so many people doing a famous you nothing without my annual net oh how pic of my ass now I'm going out here to pimple what do you want to try as well oh okay okay we got everything this way wow really nice whoa I've never seen cloud in this form Wow beautiful so this is one of the best spots for the sunrise and that is now Jade the highest peak of Taiwan and so this behind it and look at the clouds a lot of friends it's coming up so quickly to study I think one of my favorite things to do is so watch the sunrise with jasmine I think the Sun is bright it's like too much too much too much Sun do shining I want it all in so I don't okay so I'll go take the shade now in here I think looking at the sunrise is it's really comforting especially when you wake up in the morning and you enjoy the crisp air and being with nice people I think it's it's a good moment the aborigine culture of Taiwan is a precious part of the whole culture in alleys and there is a traditional Aborigine tribe called the souls and arranged for the couples they can experience the traditional zou style wedding which is how very very differently to what we know you kill watch I guess for you yeah this is for the king and queen John and Jasmine experienced some of the traditional activities such as love jelly making so lovely couple in traditional costume you liking it yeah how you feeling is it comfortable yeah is it comfortable really comfortable so this is called I do I means love you means Jade and so for you couple to accomplish this together meaning everlasting love so she'd know once again I do with you think I never lit no hearts and I just see about how the I need to get want young boy yoga you scrape off all the seeds or the speed and then make a huge mess so by this we can see the personalities of then you put it in this mesh bag and my wife and I we both need it under boiled water together how my United we do I need a baby when I three to thoughtful like saying oh you have to both mix it too good I do it from behind a bit more horse okay I you symbolized our love by like when we make it if we squeeze it too hard and then which symbolize that all probably it's pushing too hard in our relationship and then we can ask squeeze too lightly as well so we have to make sure it's balanced and then just like our relationship I can feel the difference the water is getting more gooey yeah yeah I can feel it inside the bag you can feel it getting thicker now I do because I thought my tea yeah it was really really nice I just let it sit over there for a few hours yeah it was really fun usually in the aborigine tribe seeing worldwide adulthood ceremony is very commonly seen but unlike what we know of that those arranged their adulthood ceremony during the wedding ceremony just before the elders approved their wedding and the whole process very easy spanking drinking headpiece decorating so they have to steal the wife I think yeah so that's the chaplain that's why I had to hide behind and then he went out first and then trying to look for me and then I came out and then a couple of warriors had to hold me down and the tribal leader had to hit me three times but it was cool it was just to signify that you're growing up you're getting married and you're moving on and then the rice wine powers are really cool too like you have to drink us a same pace not like oh one is faster so the water will come out stuff like that yeah yeah we have to drink as one it was really nice oh my goodness no great watch dance moves I felt like I had four legs instead of two that was my most nerve-wracking part I'm not a very good dancer but it was there's a lot of fun they really welcomed us soon all right this is what you guys made the love jelly yeah so let's give it a spin like nothing like water yeah we did it was good yeah it was surprisingly yeah it tasted like the honey and lemon we put on it it was a lot like the Canadian jello but more delicate that's good is that what you imagine I didn't know what to imagine it it's good though so John this is yours for today hahaha finish it up show your love to your wife let's check it off yeah and we can have it on the way right okay take it and go take it away Jasmine is a real sweetheart and a very thoughtful girl as well so for their wedding she never really asked for anything not the ceremony not the wedding photos and not even a ring but I know girls even if they don't say it they have it in here or or here but John the very thoughtful and wonderful husband he knew it and he's got something in his mind for quite a while so what I'm doing is I'm trying to get a ring for Jasmine because I never got her an engagement ring coastal wedding ring Oh so I want a surprise for at the Taipei dinner with that a nice new jewelry what do you guys think I think I like it I think it would look good on her I want to buy that one so she does have no but I'm excited to give her the surprise and it's hard hard to top it says surprise jasmine so I I'm excited should be fun I can't wait to give it to her on top of Taipei 101 so how do you like this place it's beautiful and I know the two of you after getting married your first time the Taiwan you two have been wanting to have a nice gathering with the whole family yeah so I picked one of the finest restaurants in Taipei we're now on the 85th floor of Taipei 101 with the best view of Taipei City nice nice so you two in for fancy restaurants I am stoked yeah and ready for the cherry on top the family is waiting all right all right let's head in okay so Jazmin and John still remember your first missions I do remember our first mission I do believe it was taking underwire in photography and are you guys stoked to see the room a little bit so move your site it's ready on the left John and Jasmine had a romantic trip around Taiwan and so we're just gonna give him a little bit of a last surprise maestro please it was super special for Janet to come in and set up the engagements off I saw your wedding pictures they're really really awesome yeah I love the underwater ones whether it was that difficult to do it took some work and how do you feel me this is your first time ever leaving Canada yeah it was amazing much yeah one of the coolest experiences good okay well I have to ask everybody here yeah I think we want something a little bit more romantic cuz we didn't get to see it did you see it I didn't did you see it - no no no yeah we were pretty alone in that yeah so I think we need to maybe reenact some sort of situation elbow I think in front of everybody it was so hard to keep this a secret safe it's a really hard secret to keep especially having the ring in my pocket for a couple days to last until tonight last but not least yeah let's get the say just pretend you're not here and it was so nervous doing it in front of all the family oh my heart was beating like crazy and my forehead started to sweat it was very nerve-wracking but I love her with all my heart time I would ask her in front of a million people any time and Janet as a married woman huh and happy in marriage do you have any words for the newlywed oh yeah completely the woman is always right always yes always right to the device it is true happy wife happy life and no other than that I think you'll have a great start you you met on you know doing adventure you've explored different things together I've heard you've had a very very romantic start of the marriage in fact because you took care of you when you were in Canada I mean all these things are you know great start for a wonderful marriage so hopefully Taiwan is your first trip outside of Canada hopefully you will not be your last so we should probably not stand between the two their family was so welcoming so happy and everybody is so nice it was hard being the foreigner who stole her daughter so it was really really emotional especially dad it was important for me to thank him for allowing me to marry his daughter it was really nice family show you
