Jae and Jay’s love story began in the summer of 2012 during finals week of their study abroad in Korea. While Jae was waiting outside for her noodle delivery, a mutual friend introduced her to Jay and an instant spark was created while they exchanged memories from their program. They shared one magical week, their connection immediate and unforgettable, before life pulled them apart: Jae returned to the US, and Jay stayed in Korea for his military service. Years passed, and fate brought their paths together again in NYC, but the timing wasn’t right, and they were separated once more by the pandemic. In 2022, it was destiny when Jae moved to LA and traveled to Korea. This time, their reunion was different. Jay knew he couldn’t let her slip away again. Within a month, he left everything behind and moved across the world to be with her. This past August, Jay popped the most important question on their apartment rooftop in LA. Their time in LA has been filled with love, laughter, and the beauty of growing together—sharing their love for food, learning that they are not hikers, and being way too competitive with fantasy football. But most importantly, they’ve discovered that even their differences are something to cherish. As they prepare to move to the DMV this March, they are excited to embark on their next great adventure, knowing that wherever they go, their love will always be home. We cannot wait to celebrate our wedding and share our moment with you all soon!
