Due to COVID-19, our wedding reception is now on July 24, 2021

Due to the uncertainty of the pandemic, we got married with just our parents present on July 24, 2020, in Columbus, OH. and now we are finally having the "reception" in Asheville, NC. It is not the wedding, more like a reunion! We ask that only those who have been vaccinated attend.

We met in 2016 as nursing colleagues at the New York-Presbyterian Weil Cornell Hospital. And that's what we were to each other for over 2 years. To Jin, Matthew was this quiet man who had a thing about cars. To Matthew, Jin was this nurse who was getting a PhD. But fast forward to 2018. We connected briefly to talk about jobs as both of us were moving out of NYC. In a random Jin fashion, she invited him to visit her in Michigan as she knew no one there and was getting bored. why would he visit a random co-worker 4 states away! But you know what they say... When something is meant to be, it is meant to be. AAANNNDDD look at us now, two years later!!!!

We decided to start the new year with a quick hike as it was a rare bright sunny day in Ann Arbor, MI. It just snowed the night before and the trail was quiet with no one around us. And there in the middle of the trail, Matthew popped the question! and of course, Jin said YES!

Planning a wedding isn't enough excitement, obviously! SO we moved to Columbus, OH in August 2020!!!! Jin is an assistant professor at the Ohio State University, College of Nursing. Matthew continues to do travel nursing until his thirst for checking out new places is fulfilled. The boys and Ash have been by our sides as we head into the next chapter as one big doggie family.
