The Unconventional Couple

Camilla and Sean never met each other - let alone have a conversation, until their moms tried to, for the purpose of having to marry each other.

Camilla was born and raised in the Philippines for most of her life. She studied nursing, as she doesn't know what she likes during those days, she became a registered nurse soon after and went to Germany for greener pastures as soon as got her license. She's been doing great for the last 5 years but applying for a permanent residency in Germany is just complicated.

Sean was born and raised in Australia and have been staying there for as long as he can remember. Having an Australian father and Filipino mother has its perks. Though, he never set foot in the Philippines he had once practice some Filipino values, their food and some basic Tagalog words during his childhood but as he grew older he somewhat forgotten about it.

Flore (Camilla's mom) and Vic (Sean's mom) met during the 80s, when they were freshmen of their college years and been friends ever since. Even before graduation, Vic was already traveling back and forth with her then-boyfriend Rick to Australia and soon after graduating they wed and moved permanently there. Flore, on the other hand, met Lars. Lars is a neighbor, that's smitten by her and pursue Flore for an extended period and finally wed some time after. Even though both women lived a continent apart, that didn't stopped their friendship and continues to contact each other.

"If you're going to take part on this, whatever this is, you should be fully committed."

"Just so you know, I only agree because your mom and my mom are best friends. And ever since my parents divorced, I haven't seen my mom that happy and excited again. This whole scheme better work out."

These were the words of two people who's lives changed, completely, after they agreed to their mothers shenanigans.
