We met at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2012--a year after Diego graduated and during Kathy's last year. Through the Vietnamese Students Association and mutual friends, we hung out at social gatherings and eventually hit it off through a shared love for live music and shenanigans. We became best friends and hung out every weekend after Kathy graduated college. In August 2013, Kathy moved to New York City but not before confessing to Diego that she had a crush on him during her going away party (weird flex but okay). Off she went on a plane the next day. Diego eventually visited NYC and we had our first date on November 13th, 2013. The rest is history. After all the long-distance dates, career changes, and moves across the country (Diego to NY in 2015 and Diego and Kathy back to the Bay Area in 2017), we can't wait to get hitched and celebrate the next chapter of our lives together with each of you, who have played (and will continue to play) such an important part in our adventure!
