How We Met
Ken and Yen met on the online dating app, Coffee Meets Bagel. We checked each other's boxes and after a few messages back and forth, we decided to meet up at Vino Loco wine bar. Ken thought it was going to be simple meet up for drinks, but Yen had other plans. Watching Yen immediately order a full entrée, Ken instantly regretted eating dinner before arriving. In between answering Yen’s questions about life goals and five-year plans, Ken managed to squeeze down a salad. However, we both had a great time, and that marked the start of our adventures together. After almost three years of laughing, traveling, snoozing, and snacking together, we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together!

FAQs
Question
Will there be a wedding ceremony before the reception?

While we appreciate offers of physical gifts, we will not be having a gift registry. The best gift of all will just being able to spend time with our friends and family.
