We met in Seoul—two introverts who weren’t exactly looking for love, but found it anyway. Mingi was busy capturing other people’s love stories through a lens, and Alyssa was working her way through expat life (and, let’s be honest, drinking way too much convenience store coffee).

There were sparks right away—the kind that sneak up on you but don’t let go. From quiet dinners and movie marathons to never wanting to be apart and an ease we’d never really felt before, things just clicked. And pretty quickly, we both knew: this was something special.

We got engaged in a tiny town in Japan that felt like it was pulled from a Studio Ghibli film—quiet, magical, and completely us.

Now we’re getting ready to celebrate with all of you—the people who’ve loved us, cheered us on, and made this journey even sweeter. We can’t wait to share this next chapter with you.

With love,

Alyssa & Mingi
