Aileen and Cody met at UC Berkeley, through their student organizations (Asian Business Association and Berkeley Project).

Cody proposed to Aileen at the top of Corona Heights, San Francisco on February 22, 2020 (not intentional in name and timing). After she said "yes," he led her to a surprise celebration with their closest friends (and dogs) at a nearby park. The day was capped off with a dinner with family at Trestle in San Francisco.
