2014: A Couple of “Hi”s

We met in class at the University of Houston back in 2014. It wasn’t exactly love at first sight — unless you count two awkward “hi’s” on the way to and from our seats. After that, we mastered the art of saying nothing at all.

2020: The Great Re-Meet

Fast forward to 2020. A bold, history-making move was made: a DM. One message turned into many, and before we knew it, we were sharing our values, our hopes, and most importantly our craving for kimchi soup. From that day on, things got delightfully spicy.

The Spicy Part

Some couples bond over movies. We bonded over attempting to make kimchi stew from scratch. Between slurps and laughter, we found that we fit—two thoughtful individuals who like our love warm and cozy.

05/10/2025: The Paris Proposal

Chris planned to propose outside in Paris, with the twinkling lights, the romantic cityscape, the whole movie scene. Then nerves said, “What if people look?” So he proposed inside our hotel room, where the coziest love story lives. It was tender, quiet, and exactly right. Van (who also does not enjoy being stared at) thought it was perfect. Truly, ’twas very romantic.

Now: Two Introverts, One Big Party

The fact that we’re having a wedding as two introverts is… ambitious. And yet, here we are, excited to celebrate with the people who’ve cheered us on, laughed with us, and maybe shared a bowl or two along the way.

Thanks for being part of our story. Grab a spoon, the love is still spicy.
