It all began in July 2018, when Mey moved to the U.S. Adjusting to a new country and language, Mey joined friends for a basketball game, where she first met Luke. In an attempt to get to know her better (without making it too obvious), Luke cleverly "exchanged" numbers with the entire friend group, but it was Mey's number he truly wanted. Interestingly, Luke had noticed Mey before this moment. At the lunch table, the very day he first saw her, Luke told his group of friends that he was going to make Mey his girlfriend. As the months went by, Luke and Mey grew closer. Luke spent Thanksgiving chatting with Mey and soon had an idea to make her first homecoming extra special. He invited her to the dance, wanting to give her a memorable experience. Even though Mey was still learning English, Luke went out of his way to help her—whether it was teaching her new words or showing her around the yearbook. One day, Luke, Mey, and a group of friends went ice skating. Afterward, during a quiet conversation, Luke and Mey realized they shared a special connection. Luke decided it was time to be honest about his feelings and sent Mey a heartfelt message confessing his emotions. What Luke didn’t know was that Mey had secretly admired him since her first days at school and had even mentioned her crush to her sister. Not long after, they went on their first official date, learning more about each other and building a deeper bond. Luke asked Mey to be his girlfriend on December 1st, 2018, at Long Lake in Valparaiso, marking the start of a beautiful journey together. Since then, they’ve been inseparable, growing together through life’s ups and downs. Over the years, their love has taken them on incredible adventures. From exploring Europe and soaking up the beauty of Costa Rica to enjoying everyday joys like driving their matching Mustangs, playing video games, and working on projects together, Luke and Mey have built a life filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Having met at just 15 years old, they’ve shared countless moments that have shaped their story. Now, they’re ready to embark on their greatest adventure yet—a lifetime together as husband and wife.
