In a classic way of encounter, we found out about each other through our great friends Edward Howland and Cynthia Gallagher. The first place we met was at Park street station, Boston in summer 2015. Pouring rain, it was great for the first date. It was a damp, dismal and grey day. agh. In wet shoes, we went to a Korean restaurant as planned anyway. Masa's poor English with an accent was not cute enough to charm her. It only created a more awkward and confusing atmosphere at the table and more scratching on his head. Nevertheless, we remember we found being together comfortable somehow. A couple of dates later, Masa wanted to date more with Kel, so he asked her to be his girlfriend. She said no, but wanted to stay friends. Since he is a persistent Japanese man like a sumo wrestler trying to make a stand at the edge of the ring, he tried and tried to win her heart. After two more rejections from her, she finally said "Okay" to date with him. It was not easy after we started long distance and we saw one another once in 4 or 5 months. Talking everyday on the phone was not enough so we had many ups and downs, sometimes even an unwanted major fight. Enduring the hardships in our relationship for 2 years, we decided to end this and start a new life together in Tokyo. With all the support from our friends and families, we were able to carry on our relationship and look towards our future. In our first time to go through four seasons together, there were moments, happy and joy, bewildered and miscommunication. Including all the feelings, he wanted her to be in his view as long as possible. Sweating profusely in January 2019, constant simulations in his head and a diamond ring in his inside pocket of his navy suit. Observatory in Tokyo Sky Tree tower, she said yes. We both appreciate you coming from all parts in the world to our destination wedding and we cannot wait to celebrate with you in Hawaii!
