Frequent flyer points.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Phoon, 26, and Minh Nguyen, 33, may have lived on opposite sides of the country, but that didn\u2019t stop their love blossoming. \u201cI was a student in Melbourne at the time we met, and he lived in Perth,\u201d explains Amanda. \u201cOn our first date, I remember we got on like a house on fire, and were the last people to leave the restaurant. We had our first kiss and sparks flew.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then began the long-distance dating which was also followed by Amanda filling a commitment to the Navy.
