Our story does not start with an instant fireworks moment. Instead, our story is one of persistence. Liz and Won had known each other from a distance as they served at their local church together. About a year into their service together, Won approached Liz. She rejected him because she was recovering from a past breakup and struggling with stressful roadblocks in her studies. Yet Won persisted! She would go on to reject him a few more times after, but each time Won stood by her side (visiting her every day without fail) and gently aided Liz with his encouragement and prayers so that she could recover and finally open up to him.
One of our first dates was biking through the Gunpowder State Falls trail on a fall afternoon and refueling with BBQ afterwards. On a sunny September day in 2018, Won recreated our first date, taking Liz on a bike ride through the park when he stopped and asked her to marry him. Friends and family also came to celebrate with them and they all indulged in BBQ afterwards to bring it full circle!
Now, Won and Liz are thankful to soon call each other partners in life! Our prayer is that we will continue to grow in love and service to one another and those around us. We hope you can join us in celebrating our special day, but more importantly, that you will support us throughout the journey ahead!
