It all started with a little persistence (and a lot of patience). We met through mutual friends back in 2014. She embodies everything I look for in a partner—smart, caring, and ambitious. When I asked her out, she kept me waiting for six months before finally saying yes. Talk about playing hard to get!

He wasn’t my usual “bad boy” type — he was the total opposite: kind, thoughtful, and full of heart. It didn’t take long for me to realize that sometimes, what you didn’t expect is exactly what you needed.

Over the past 10 years, we’ve built a life filled with laughter, travel, and way too many food/boba adventures to count. From getting lost (and eating everything) in Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea, Taiwan, and Canada to hunting down the best seafood and sharing hotpot (in 100-degree weather)— every moment has been a memory we treasure.

Through it all, he has always been one of my biggest supporters — including countless trips to Spokane while I was in pharmacy school, cheering me on through every exam, late-night study session, and milestone. And when we’re not busy eating or studying, you can usually find us yelling at the TV during a basketball game — passionate fans first, loving couple second.

Throughout the years that we had spent together I always knew she was the one for me. She stood by my side through every high and low. So, in September 2023, during a perfect trip to Vancouver, BC, I asked her to spend forever with me — and this time, she didn’t make me wait.

We’re beyond excited to celebrate our next adventure with all of you — the friends and family who have loved and supported us through every laugh, meal, game, and moments along the way. Let’s make even more memories together!
