If anyone tells you destiny doesn’t exist, direct them to this article.

A couple in China were deciding which photos to include in their upcoming nuptials, when they came across a childhood picture of husband Hedong Zhang on holiday.

Zhang visited the Giant Buddha statue at Ling Shan Mountain in the year 2000, when he was 14.

The photos was taken 15 years before they met, and apparently both families had used the same bus company and travelled in the same bus to the historical site.

The skies, the oceans, the heavens... everything was in alignment.
