Jack and David's paths first crossed during their high school Mandarin class. Interestingly, David had spent his previous summer immersing himself in Shanghai, diligently acquiring Mandarin skills. On the other hand, Jack was a freshman who had just enrolled in the Mandarin class. Little did they know, this shared academic pursuit would be the catalyst for a lasting friendship.

Jack, with his relentless pursuit of academic excellence, immediately recognized David's Mandarin background as a challenge. However, as they embarked on study sessions and spent weekends together, they soon discovered a wealth of common interests. These shared passions formed the foundation of a strong and enduring friendship.

A few years later, while on a scenic hike up Saddleback Mountain, David decided to take their relationship to the next level by asking Jack out. From that point on, their love story began to unfold, and they recently cemented their bond by purchasing a home in Brea. Together, they are now raising an energetic black Labrador puppy named Cooper, a symbol of their shared journey.

Their love for adventure takes them on frequent travels around the world, making them true enthusiasts of exploration and discovery.

In the breathtaking landscapes of Norway, Jack orchestrated an unforgettable surprise proposal that left David momentarily lost for words, exclaiming 'What?!' several times before finally saying "Yes!" Their love story took an even more enchanting turn as they decided to embark on their journey of marriage in the picturesque setting of Mammoth. For Jack, it held the cherished memories of a childhood spent skiing, while David had grown deeply fond of the charming ski town over the course of several summers and winter months. Now, Mammoth will forever hold a special place in their hearts, an emblem of their enduring love and shared adventures.
