Jen and Rai's love story began at a random Sunday soccer pickup game in Long Beach. They bantered back and forth each week until they decided it was time for a first date.. on Halloween. While they were dressed in casual everyday clothes, everyone else was dressed up as pirates and firefighters. From the first date they were instantly inseparable. They loved each other’s company as they had non stop laughter each time they talked-whether it was in person or over the phone. Fast forward one year later Rai proposed to Jen on their one-year dating anniversary- January 18. From starting their relationship to getting engaged they thought why not get married on this date too! They are thrilled to celebrate their love with their closest friends and family on January 18,2026.
