We met at UCLA through KCM (Korean-American Missions). I thought she was a great catch, but didn't really act on anything because I thought she was too good and too holy for me. (Turns out I was tricked and horribly mistaken... JK!) Post-UCLA and 70 miles apart, we kept in touch through Facebook Messenger, YouTube videos, funny stories and jokes, and differences in opinion on music and movies. At the time, I was tutoring to scrape by, taking some community college classes, and trying to figure out my life. Even though I knew I wasn't in a place to really date seriously or advertise myself optimally, I knew that someone else would ask her out and all my thoughts and feelings would just be regrets left unsaid. I somehow reasoned that it would make more sense to act and be rejected than to do nothing and regret. For some reason, I knew that Angie was the best girl I would ever meet; I had everything to gain, and nothing to lose. And because Facebook Messenger played such an important role in our relationship, I decided to tell her that I liked her through this medium (don't judge me pls). And much to my good fortune, she did not run away or reject me. It has been nearly 5 years and we have yet to have a "honeymoon" year. Every year has been difficult and rife with fights, doubts, and shortcomings. Every year we practiced fighting FOR the relationship and to not give up when things were hard and unbearable. Every year, we learned to die to ourselves more and that love is more about complementing than compatibility. We made it, GF :]

I met Patrick at UCLA KCM (I came in as a 3rd year transfer) and we served together in leadership the following year. I didn't think much of him at the time. If anything I thought he was a "nice guy," but kind of arrogant, which was a no for me. Anyhow, during our 4th year, due to unfortunate circumstances, Patrick had to move back home to Moreno Valley and didn't finish the school year with us. Being the kind woman that I am (haha), I messaged him via Facebook Messenger to check in and see how he's doing. We began to message each other quite frequently. He seemed to always have a new Youtube clip of someone singing for me to watch/listen to/critique every day. Most of the videos actually weren't my style, but I tried to be nice about it. One day, Patrick messages me with a confession of some sort. I didn't know how to respond, but that was the first time I didn't outright reject someone. Long story short, I realized that I had feelings for someone else, which made things kind of weird for a while. But Patrick was persistent and patient and he eventually won my heart over and now we're getting married. Yay! (My long version is much more heartfelt, I promise).
