Our Wedding

Nanjing is from Shanghai, China. She came to United States in 2008 for college at University of Wisconsin - Madison, got her PhD in Operations Research at Cornell University, and works as a Senior Applied Science Manager. Keenan is from Houston, Texas. He went to college at Rice University, got his PhD in Engineering Psychology at Georgia Institute of Technology, and works as a User Researcher. Keenan and Nanjing met on Hinge and started dating in August 2024. They shared the same MBTI (INFJ), and common interests in people watching, video games, anime, working out, and sour candies. They hung out together in many strange places and enjoyed each others’ company. In September 2025, Keenan proposed to Nanjing next to a turtle pond in Golden Gardens Park on her birthday. Now they are getting married!

Registry

Pictures of our cat Emi

Emi is a 10-year old cat. Nanjing adopted her when she was in grad school in Ithaca, NY. However, Keenan is her current favorite human. Emi won’t be at the wedding, but she belongs to the family and definitely deserves her own webpage.
