V času, ko družbena omrežja pogosto ustvarjajo vtis, da so za srečo potrebni popoln videz, idealne mere in brezhibne fotografije, zgodba Timothyja Muttooja in njegove žene Anite Wing Lee dokazuje nekaj povsem drugega. 

Ko sta po poroki na spletu objavila nekaj utrinkov iz skupnega življenja, sta postala prava spletna senzacija. Ne zaradi razkošnega slavja ali dragih poročnih oblek, ampak zato, ker je nevesta od ženina, ki trpi zaradi pritlikavosti, višja več kot 40 centimetrov. 

A če vprašate njiju, je razlika v višini ena najmanj pomembnih stvari v njunem odnosu. »Višina nikoli ni bila nekaj, čemur bi pripisovala pomen. Pomembne so skupne vrednote, vera, zaupanje in to, kako dobro se razumeva,« pravi Timothy, ki kot inženir dela v Torontu v Kanadi.

Sprva sta bila le dobra prijatelja. Foto: Profimedia

Vse se je začelo kot prijateljstvo

Par se je spoznal leta 2021. Takrat med njima ni vzcvetela nobena filmska romanca na prvi pogled, ampak se je razvilo povsem običajno prijateljstvo. Prav to pa je po Timothyjevem mnenju postavilo trdne temelje za vse, kar je sledilo. 

»Nikoli si nisem rekel, da jo moram takoj povabiti na zmenek. Želel sem jo samo spoznati in zgraditi prijateljski odnos. Zaradi tega sem bil veliko bolj sproščen,« pojasnjuje. Sčasoma se je prijateljstvo razvilo v ljubezen, junija lani pa sta svojo zgodbo kronala še s poroko.

Že kmalu po poroki sta na družbenih omrežjih objavila zabaven video, v katerem sta pokazala nekaj vsakdanjih situacij, ki jih prinaša razlika v njuni višini. Med drugim, kako si v kuhinji »razdelita delo« pri zgornjih in spodnjih policah, kako brez težav uporabljata hladilnik in kako sta številne izzive spremenila v povsem običajen del vsakdana. Prav ta iskrenost in humor sta navdušila uporabnike spleta. Video si je ogledalo več kot 1,7 milijona ljudi, sledilo pa je tudi na tisoče komentarjev.

Večina odzivov je bila izjemno pozitivnih. Mnogi so zapisali, da jih je par spomnil, kako nepomembne so fizične lastnosti, ko gre za iskreno povezanost med dvema človekoma.

Sporočilo za vse, ki dvomijo o sebi

Čeprav se občasno pojavijo tudi manj prijazni komentarji, Timothy pravi, da ga najbolj veselijo sporočila ljudi, ki jim je njuna zgodba vlila več samozavesti. Po njegovem mnenju se preveč ljudi obremenjuje s stvarmi, na katere pogosto ne morejo vplivati – naj gre za višino, videz ali druge telesne značilnosti. »Dobivava sporočila od ljudi, ki pravijo, da jima je najina zveza dala pogum, da prenehajo razmišljati o površinskih stvareh in dajo priložnost pravi ljubezni. Če sva komu pomagala, je bilo vse to vredno,« pravi.
