How We Met

05/22/2013

Jae Min and Colin’s story began in 2013, in a way neither of them could have expected, through a chance encounter in a game of League of Legends. By pure coincidence, they were placed on the same team, despite having no idea the other even played. The odds were already slim, but what made it even more surprising was the moment Colin recognized a familiar username and asked, “Is this Jae Min from Glendale?” That simple question turned a random match into something unforgettable. What started as a quick reconnection online quickly grew into something more. Night after night, they found themselves logging on, not just to play, but to talk, laugh, and spend time together. Soon, those gaming sessions turned into hours on Skype, stretching late into the night until it became their routine, something they both looked forward to every single day. What began as a friendship grew naturally and effortlessly into something deeper, built on countless conversations, inside jokes, and the comfort of always having each other there. When they finally met in person, everything felt easy and certain. It didn’t take long for them to realize that what they had was truly special. From that moment on, they were rarely apart, choosing each other in all the big and small ways that matter. Thirteen years later, their story continues, rooted in friendship, strengthened by time, and filled with the same love and laughter that started it all. Following the wedding, Colin and Jae Min will share a new adventure and spend their first year of marriage in Palo Alto, CA where Colin will complete his 1-year residency at the VA Palo Alto.
