Chris and Michi met in the spring of 2023 at a picnic following a Vietnamese assembly, where they enjoyed playing cards together. A few months later, Chris, interested in Michi, contacted an elder from Michi's group. They saw each other again at a dinner with friends after a convention in San Jose, CA. Michi's heart melted for Chris when he shared his ice cream with her. Shortly after, Chris surprised her by asking her out. Initially, Michi suggested they take things slow and just stay in touch. However, just a few days later, she changed her mind, and they started dating a week after their dinner. On January 9, 2024, Chris proposed to Michi in a library in San Diego, CA, with a unique ring he made from grass. The proposal left Michi in shock. They are excited to get married and look forward to their new life together, dedicated to serving Jehovah.
