The Heartfelt Journey of Datya and Btari

In a world that often celebrates grand gestures, the love story of Datya Deanto Pradana and Btari Dwi Pringgodhani stands out for its quiet strength and enduring simplicity. Together for over seven years, their journey is marked not by dramatic milestones, but by the little things shared meals, mutual respect, and the kind of connection that deepens over time.

Datya and Btari first crossed paths back in junior high school, but it wasn’t until over a decade later, in 2018, that their connection was reignited through Instagram. Btari saw a post from a mutual friend and decided to reach out. That message sparked a conversation that quickly blossomed into something far more meaningful.

Their first date took place at a Japanese restaurant in Senopati, a choice Datya thought would impress Btari. Beyond the sushi, it gave them the chance to reconnect and talk about their lives, from school to college. As they shared stories, they realized how much they had in common, making the date feel like the beginning of something more serious.

Over time, Datya learned that there’s always more to discover about your partner, no matter how long you’ve been together. Each day brought new insights, making their bond grow deeper. They’ve come to understand that a relationship is about continuous learning, growing, and being there for each other, especially during difficult times.

For Datya, the key to their relationship is balance. They’ve built a partnership based on equality, where both listen, communicate, and make decisions together. He believes that respect and empathy are essential, always thinking about how the other person feels and working together to meet each other’s needs.

The little things are what matter most to them. Whether it’s matching outfits, cooking together, or simply spending quality time, these moments strengthen their bond. They also share a love for Sejauh Mata Memandang, wearing the “Ombak Laut” and “Flora-Wiji” motifs for their wedding. For them, it’s important to live responsibly, and they make thoughtful choices in their daily lives, from reducing plastic use to supporting eco-friendly products.
