We met through our design internship during spring break 2015. Brad was in architecture master program and Anqi was in the interior design bachelor program. Though we both go to Pratt Institute, we did not meet on campus. We started dating two years later, and our journey is about entering a new chapter in 2018.

On Valentine’s Day 2018, Brad went to work as normal at least that’s what I thought. But in the afternoon he surprised me with a phone call asking me to pick up something from downstairs. There were my favorite bubble teas, roses, and a beautiful evening dress he picked out for the dinner. A vintage white Rolls-Royce showed up later and drove me to a restaurant in upstate New York where Brad was waiting for me. We had a 25-course set dinner; during which I kept expecting his proposal. But nothing happened until we drove home. After I opened the door, I was surprised by a room filled with candles and flowers that was secretly prepared during dinner. He got down on one knee in front of my family and finally asked the question I was waiting for the whole night. I cried and said yes. Now we cannot wait to share this immense joy in our life with you!
