We met in 2014, and again in 2015 and once again in 2016, but it wasn't until Spring of 2018 when we realized how important we were to one another. We found ourselves both working in Virginia after Tran's graduation, at which point the on-again-off-again situationship became a full blown partnership. Not even an expired visa or a global pandemic could disrupt our love and we did what they said was impossible: made a long-distance relationship work. Two years of long distance and 15 consecutive months where we weren't allowed to travel to see one another couldn't stop us!

Returning to the East Coast of the US in 2021 saw us moving in together in North Carolina. It also brought new jobs, a new graduate school, and the adoption of two new beautiful baby kittens: Shuri and Chandler (see photos below)

When Harry proposed in Ha Long Bay in the Summer of 2023, we once again leveled-up our relationship and we can't wait to celebrate our evolution as a couple with all of you in Summer of 2025!
