How it began
Our Love Story
Long before
Two families, one thread
Our mothers were the closest of friends in university. Our paths first crossed as children โ€” though neither of us remembers it.
The reunion
We met again
Years later, at my mom's fiftieth birthday. For a while, we were simply friends.
Feb 2022
One message
A reply to a photo, a question about family โ€” and we simply never stopped talking.
Oct 5, 2022
He asked, officially
On my birthday he asked me to be his โ€” and surprised me with a photoshoot to remember it by.
Mar 31, 2026
The proposal
Beneath the blossoms in Korea, he asked forever. I said yes.
February 06, 2027
The wedding
And the story continues โ€” this time, with all of you.
She said yes
