Our love story began in LA, back in 2017. Gina and Richard first met on Boxing day in an izakaya through their close friends Anhee and Ellie. Somehow they both showed up in the same shade of navy and after discovering their mutual love of travel, design, and sneakers, they knew the stars have aligned. Afterwards, they all went bowling together. Gina sadly sucked at bowling, but she didn't care and just wanted to have fun with everyone. But Richard didn't get it. So he asked Gina, "Why are you not trying?" This is where their relationship has blossomed and the rest is history!

3 years worth of memories later, and we've travelled pretty much the entire stretch of the west coast, amassed our dream sneaker collection, and became loving parents to our Boston terrier, Oreo. On a February leap day, Richard finally popped the question to Gina in her favorite local gallery in the Arts District. Just like the lockdowns that began a day after, the proposal was a total surprise that Richard had managed to secretly plan in collaboration with the "Crispy Crew" Ellie, Anhee, Chanjoo and Hojin. As Gina was greeted by the crew, she turned around and found Richard on one knee and she said yes. We can’t wait for this exciting new chapter to begin!
