Like many love stories these days, ours started online.

We met for the first time at Cucina 503 for dinner. Mary asked Ian all kinds of questions that night, and he answered every one with his usual calm and warmth demeanor. At dinner, Ian mentioned he’d been wanting to visit new churches, and Mary invited him to come with her that Sunday. What started as a simple plan turned into one of our first shared moments of faith and connection.

As our relationship grew, we treasured our time getting to know each other’s friends and families, who welcomed us with so much love and support.

As we spent more time together, we naturally started sharing the things we love most. Ian shared his love for his Korean culture, his passion for golf, and his competitive side when it comes to gaming. Mary shared her love for staying active, her joy for shopping, and the special bond she has with her dog, Nala. Experiencing each other’s worlds helped us see life through new eyes and brought us even closer together.

What started as a few messages online has grown into the most meaningful love of our lives. We’re so grateful for everyone who’s been part of our journey, and we can’t wait to celebrate this new beginning with all of you.
