Jenny and Ray’s tale begins like any other 21st-century romance: two twenty-something singles who serendipitously swiped right on a dating app in 2018—specifically, Bumble.

Their first date had its quirks. Jenny arrived fashionably late, stepping into a lively jazz restaurant where Ray had been nervously waiting for over 20 minutes. Despite the cacophony of jazz tunes drowning their conversation, they decided to soldier on. Bar after bar, they laughed, shared stories, and reveled in each other’s company until the clock struck 2 am. Yes, this is a wedding website, but their initial encounter was a promising prelude.

In 2020, they took the plunge and moved into their first apartment together. Their shared passions included food, travel, and even grocery shopping. Jenny’s penchant for all things noodle-related amused Ray, who learned to appreciate her culinary preferences. And then there was the matter of Jenny’s unique talent: she could turn Ray’s favorite songs into delightful disasters with her intentionally awful singing. Yet, despite the musical casualties, Ray chose love.

Their feline companions, Mowgli and Lana, played a pivotal role. Jenny’s cunning plan involved bringing Ray to a kitten event on their second date. It worked like a charm, and now Ray is a bona fide cat dad. Together, they form a blissfully cat-loving couple.

Fast-forward through two addresses and a pandemic, and here they are—thrilled to celebrate their wedding with you! So join them for the camaraderie, savor the delectable food and drinks, and when the festivities wind down, continue the revelry by indulging in Chinese takeout and belting out karaoke tunes into the night.
