Reception

Our Wedding

Sun Min and Joseph went on their first date on August 26, 2023. They had Your Pie's pizza and Handel's handmade ice cream at the Tustin Marketplace! They went on a date almost every single day afterwards. They started dating long-distance, on opposite coasts of the United States.. they're pictured here at the Orange Dave &amp; Busters amidst a California sunset!

First Date & Onwards

Tons of tearful airport goodbyes, daily phone calls, and regular visits to see each other on opposites side of the US. They made it work, though!

LONG DISTANCE

Joseph asked Sun Min to marry him on Saturday, June 14th 2025 as the sun set at Strands Cove in Dana Point, California. Despite incessantly rehearsing his speech for several hours during his 20-mile, marathon-prep runs, Joseph forgot most of it because he was so nervous! Fortunately for him, he remembered the most important question: asking Sun Min to marry him—she said yes!

Q + A

Travel

Sun Min’s favorite spot — highly recommended if shopping is your love language! 💕This is such a fun place to explore in Newport Beach, offering a boutique yet utterly chic vibe for a beachside getaway. The best part? You could totally skip the car here if you wanted to! <a href="https://www.lidomarinavillage.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lido Marina Village</a>&nbsp;is the heart of all the best California designer (&amp; beyond) shops. Think brands like The Great, LoveShackFancy, Jenni Kayne, and Dôen. Mixed in with it are some amazing restaurants, and coffee shops, all set on the waterfront of Newport Beach Harbor. You could spend a proper afternoon just popping around. Get a bite to eat at places like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.malibu-farm.com/newport-beach/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Malibu Farm</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lezinque.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zinqué</a>, or splurge at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.noburestaurants.com/newportbeach/home" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nobu</a>. (If you’re all about major shopping hauls,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fashionisland.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fashion Island</a> is the next stop — though Joseph says he’ll wait for you at the coffee shop!😉)

Sun Min’s Favorite Shopping Spot: Lido Marina Village!🛍️

The most classic is Newport Beach by the Pier, famous for its wide sandy stretches and postcard-perfect views! If you’d like to catch local surfers riding some of the biggest waves around, don’t miss the dramatic swells at The Wedge — an iconic spot in town! (Fun Fact: This is where Sun Min and Joseph shared one of their first big conversations about the future😉)

Spend the Day at the Newport Beach Pier 🏖️

This is Joseph's favorite route to run for his marathon-training runs! Replete with bikers, runners, and walkers alike, Joseph cannot recommend this trail highly enough for more active guests!
