Mr and Mrs Lee are a deaf couple living in Singapore who found each other on social networking site Facebook.

Pearlin Lee and Gary Lee first became Facebook friends in 2011 through some other mutual friends. Both are born deaf and are graphic designers.

Their first date was at an IT and electronics exhibition event and they decided to take their relationship head.

The couple got married in 2015 and they now have a six month old hearing daughter, named Mirae.

The two feel that they were able to bond which each other as both are hearing impaired. Earlier they had dated people with hearing abilities but they could not relate with them.
