A Family That Started on dua.com

From a simple click on dua.com to a traditional Albanian wedding with over 250 guests — Anita and Valdrin’s journey is a beautiful story of finding true love. Today, they’re joyfully awaiting the arrival of their first daughter and remain deeply grateful to the app that changed their lives forever.

Meet Anita and Valdrin

Anita (25), a nurse by profession, is calm and caring — just like her line of work.

Valdrin (29), a chef, is full of energy and very sociable.

Everything started with a €7 Premium subscription

Valdrin had heard about dua.com before, but never used it until one day, he and a friend decided to give it a try. They downloaded the app and both subscribed to Premium.

“We created our profiles together and started exploring the app right after becoming Premium. We had gotten an offer for just €7. Funny enough, my friend is now in a relationship with a girl he met on dua.com, and they’re getting married this August,” shares Valdrin.

What first caught his eye was Anita’s profile photo. As they began chatting, he quickly realized she was the right person for him.

The wait for the first text

The couple laughs as they recall the first message exchange. After matching, Valdrin sent Anita a message — and then disappeared for a few hours because of work. Anita thought he was arrogant and nearly unmatched him.

“He messaged me first, then stopped replying. I thought, ‘Wow, he must be full of himself. I’ll unmatch him.’ But then he texted again in the evening, explaining he had been working. That’s when I changed my mind,” Anita recalls.


From that point on, everything took off — from long conversations to their first date.

A wedding with all the heart of Albanian tradition

They matched on dua.com on April 12, 2023, and got engaged just five months later, in September of the same year.

“We had a traditional Albanian engagement. We went to her family to officially ask for her hand in marriage,” says Valdrin.

In September 2024, they celebrated their love with a big wedding attended by around 250 guests.

“Our wedding was traditional, too. We brought the bride with a convoy of 20 cars, entered with live drummers — everything was just like in the old days,” he adds.

From the very beginning, preserving traditions and family values has been essential for the couple.

Shared values that brought them together

Anita downloaded the app when she felt truly ready for a serious relationship. In Valdrin, she found everything she had been looking for: a mature, hardworking, and goal-oriented man.

“From the moment I created my profile, Valdrin messaged me. At first, I liked his photo, but through our conversations, I realized how much we had in common,” she says.

For Anita, April 12 is a turning point in her life.

“It’s the most important date to me. Engagements and weddings are dates you choose, but this one was spontaneous — and it changed everything,” she adds.

She says their sense of humor brought them closer, and she fell for Valdrin’s kind and gentle personality. On his side, Valdrin found all the qualities he had hoped for in a partner.

“Forever grateful to dua.com”

For Anita and Valdrin, one thing is clear: dua.com is the reason they are together today, and they believe it’s an excellent opportunity for anyone with serious intentions.

“dua.com is the ideal app — the easiest and best way to find something real if that’s what you’re looking for,” says Anita.

She encourages other women not to hesitate to use it.

“If your goal is serious, you’ll definitely find the right person. I’m so happy and thankful to dua.com for helping me meet Valdrin. I hope others also find someone who changes their life — just like he changed mine.”

Valdrin feels the same and encourages his friends to download the app, go Premium, and look for real love.

“My goal was to find the right person to build a family with. I joined dua.com with that intention — and I succeeded. If I could do it, so can anyone else with genuine intentions. Don’t hesitate,” he says.

Anita and Valdrin’s story is living proof that real love can begin with a single click — when your heart is ready and your intentions are pure.
