We both had a horrible first impression: "so not my type." Our short-lived friendship was mostly making fun of each other while serving the church through the same outlets- praise team, Friday night Bible study, Hesed leadership, etc. But the more we served together as friends, the more we saw each other in a different light, through God's eyes, as a person to be loved and served. After months of testing the waters, we decided to spend some time in prayer to ask God if this is something we should pursue. Jun insisted on one full month of prayer, while Jenny thought that was a month too long. Three weeks later, with blessings from our young adult pastor and close friends, we began a covenant relationship.
We went out to downtown Raleigh's Bida Manda to celebrate Jun's acceptance to UNC-Chapel Hill. After a warm post-dinner stroll, we decided to head back to Jenny's apartment for dessert. With the help of our closest friends, the apartment was completely transformed - it was the perfect place for the proposal Jenny had always dreamed of. The entrance was decorated with pictures, tiny tea lights lit the way to the center of the emptied out living room, and white curtains mixed with soft background music created the right amount of romance. The proposal started with a touching prerecorded letter from Jun, and he pulled out his guitar to serenade Jenny before getting down on one knee. Jenny's response: "are you serious?" After confirming Jun was very serious, she said yes!
He prefers movies. She prefers dramas. They watch Netflix together. He's an ESFJ. She's an INFJ. They understand their differences. He's good at saving. She's good at spending. They've learned how to compromise. He loves eating. She does, too. They travel for the food. He has great memory. She is too forgetful. They find it hilarious. He's a great singer. She's practically tone deaf. They will never sing a duet together. He doesn't cook at all. She cooks. They agreed on Jun cooking once a week.
