It all began in 2022, when fate (and a Korean friends' meetup) brought us together. What started as a casual friendship soon grew into something more, naturally blossoming over time. The moment everything changed was at the Tanana Valley State Fair, high above the world on the Ferris wheel. With the nonstop bright sky above, one of us asked the other out—though maybe the real magic was in our matching red and black outfits, a funny coincidence that seemed to hint at what was to come.
Since then, we've journeyed through life hand in hand, through thick and thin. We’ve explored new places, met each other’s families, and supported each other’s dreams. From the vibrant streets of Korea to the breathtaking landscapes of Hawaii, from buying our first home built before we were born in 1982, to dancing at Air Force Balls under the watchful wings of legendary aircraft like the KC-135 and F-35, we've built a life filled with adventure, love, and shared milestones.
Together, we've uncovered the mysteries of Gwangmyeong Cave in Korea, hiked the rugged beauty of Angel Rocks in Alaska, and even swam with sharks in the vast Hawaiian waters. We've pushed our limits, running our first 10K in the Midnight Sun and taking flight—literally—at the controls of a Piper PA-28 Cherokee for Sean and Cessna 172 for HayJin.
And this is just the beginning. With so many more places to explore, goals to achieve, and memories to make, we can’t wait for what’s ahead. Through every adventure and challenge, we choose each other—now and always.
We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with you this summer!
