Our Wedding

Baby William

Meet Baby William 👶💛 Along with celebrating our wedding banquet, we are also so excited to celebrate a very special milestone for our little one — William’s 100-Day Celebration (百日宴) In Chinese tradition, the 100-day mark symbolizes health, strength, and a bright future ahead. It’s a time to introduce our baby to family and friends, and to give thanks for the love and support that surrounds him. William has already filled our lives with more joy (and less sleep!) than we ever imagined. Watching him grow over these past 100 days has been the greatest blessing, and we are so grateful to share this meaningful moment with all of you. Thank you for being part of both our love story and the beginning of William’s.

Henry and Swan’s Story

Henry and Swan’s story is one of those reminders that love shows up when the timing is just right. They first crossed paths on Coffee Meets Bagel back in 2021, exchanged a few messages, and… well, that was about it. No first date, no awkward coffee meetup, nothing. According to Swan, though, Henry did try to make plans by asking if she wanted take-out. Her answer? Silence. In her defense, she had just seen one of his dating profile photos—him holding a drink and rocking what she could only describe as a full-on f*ckboy haircut. Henry, on the other hand, does not remember having this conversation. To this day, Henry likes to claim the mystery remains unsolved. 🤨🤷‍♂️😁 A few years later in 2024, their paths crossed again. This time, they met up a couple of times and enjoyed getting to know each other. But once again they went back to doing their own thing. Then came 2025. One Wednesday evening, Henry was sitting through an optometric lecture at a work conference—you know, the kind where your mind starts wandering—and suddenly, Swan’s profile popped up on his Facebook feed. Forget the lecture. Henry knew this was his moment to shine. He reached out, and just like that, they started talking again. This time, the spark stuck. Since then, their journey has moved quickly in the best way: moving in together, building a life side by side, getting engaged, welcoming a beautiful baby, and marrying each other. What started as a simple online match turned into the greatest adventure of their lives, proving that sometimes love is worth waiting—and trying—again.

Travel

Hong Kong East Ocean Seafood Restaurant sits at the very tip of Emeryville Marina, where the land meets the water and the views take center stage. From its large dining rooms, diners are afforded sweeping panoramas across the San Francisco Bay — twinkling sailboats, gently lapping water, and in the distance the silhouettes of the Golden Gate Bridge, Treasure Island, and the city skyline. As dusk approaches, the skies over the Bay shift into pastels of pink, orange, and lavender, and the sunset reflects off the water, casting a golden glow through the windows. Whether you’re seated by a waterfront window or in a private dining hall up above, the interplay of the shore, sky, and bay makes it a tranquil and breathtaking spot. Combine that ambiance with steaming hot dim sum, authentic Cantonese seafood, and the sound of waves just outside — and you’ve got a place that feels special, intimate, and memorable, especially around sunset.
