We're so excited to finally celebrate with you

During the fall of 2010, Isabel was invited to join Emmanuel College’s biweekly Asian Student Association meeting. She didn’t know what to expect and after introducing herself, she immediately bolted out the door. She was amused at how geeky all the members were with special emphasis on ASA’s president- Anthony Mai. A few years passed and through a mutual friend, they began a friendship that turned into something quite special. Over 8 years, Anthony and Isabel would discover that they could talk to each other about everything from their favorite foods to their most personal circumstances. Through their friendship they created a bond that was more than they ever realized. During one evening as they finished their usual dinner as friends, something strange happened. Anthony couldn't help the urge to ask, "Do you like me?' Horrorstricken, he waited for her reply. Before she could stop herself, Isabel immediately answered, “Yes.” After this night and 10 years since their first meeting, Anthony and Isabel’s love continues to grow in ways they never imagined possible. It seems that marrying your best friend isn’t necessarily a cliché. It also seems like sometimes “geeks” actually get the girl after all.
