April 11, 2021 The day I asked her to be my girlfriend. The same day I stared out onto the lake for what felt like forever as she blankly processed her answer…”I’d like to”.

This is the event where Ian asked me what my thoughts on dating were (we were still friends).

Ian took me out on an encouragement date to Round 1 on my birthday, and planned a surprise birthday party. And this was when we were still friends! 03/14/2020. Covid lockdown happened few days later.

Also April 11, 2021 We just so happened to both be wearing crisp white Vans.

First study session at Coffee Tomo. She wouldn’t let go.

I believe our first date 🤔 We went to Redondo Beach. First time. It was nice.

Same date.

She got cold.

An amicable chat back when the House Party app still existed. RIP HP. You played a big part in keeping us connected during Covid 😢

Spontaneous bbq lunch with friends. Rockin’ the overalls.

😁

Adventures in 2nd Street Market.

Our more sophisticated zoom chats.

Revisited the park bench that I asked her to date. She had a much different disposition this time around…as you can see.

This was a super fun ice skate date…it ended in Ian getting stitches.

Another birthday celebration with Ian and my family, this time when we were dating. March 2022.

This is one of my favorite photos.

At a summer retreat with the Korean singles ministry in Lake Arrowhead.

A picture of a 2022 summer date at a coffee shop.

This was a time when we met up with my family on 4th market street in Santa Ana for some grubbin. I like how this picture captures how silly we can be together.

This was our first time going to a singles retreat for our church together. We were so excited!

This was a week before Ian proposed. The date was Dec 17th, and the background you see is a light show event.

Christmas night 2023. A fancy date composed of regrettable IHOP choices, perusing Newport Christmas lights, and an awkward proposal on a bridge…she said yes!

Partially blind and full of attitude. Next day after her LASIK surgery.

The same light show event as in the previous picture.

Around 4th Street Market, Santa Ana with Bri’s family.

I think this was at Mendocino Farms…one of our favorite eat spots!

With Bri and her family at Disneyland. Star Wars’ land was amazing!

I love my ring!

This was taken at the surprise engagement party right after the proposal. Ian is a great planner. :)

Look at that power couple!

Fun times at Universal Studios!

Encouragement date in LA

Star Wars Land~~~!!

One of the few times we've gone to the beach, as we prefer mountains.

Ian visited me on a work break!

Ian and the brothers put together a sister's encouragement night. I was very impressed! I still have that balloon hung in my room.

This was at a brother's encouragement night for the Korean singles ministry. I worked hard to encourage Ian!

This was one of the most memorable dates for me!(bree) We were still friends at the time of the photo.

Our first karaoke night post dating! Some songs we sang were A Whole New World from Aladdin and Like A Star by Corinne Bailey Rae.

A fist bump as friends at the time.

Another photo at the Las Vegas singles retreat.

We were on an encouragement date in LA eating at a German food place Ian really was looking forward to. This was around the art district.

A night at the movies!

Ian took me on a so desired date at the aquarium!

I love the chemistry in this photo!

This was on our first dating anniversary. He gifted me a memory photobook and a gorgeous plant!

A normal day photo with a beautiful background.

This was the last encouragement date before Ian asked me to be his girlfriend. It was at the Lacma museum.
