We first met on May 22, 2024 at Pelicana in Capitol Hill at a networking event Sam was hosting for Korean American young professionals. What started as a casual party turned into the beginning of something much bigger. Not only did we exchange Instagram handles that night, but Sam also bought Sunny a round of tequila shots as a thank you for bringing people to the event. At the time, neither of us knew that would be the start of our story. Soon after, Sunny made the first bold move...sliding into Sam’s DMs to ask about some “work" related issues (and by “work,” we mean... well, maybe not just work 😉) From there, Sunny somehow found plenty of reasons to be on the eastside, and whenever she did, she found herself hanging out with Sam. What began as casual meetups quickly became a regular part of both of our weekly routines. After spending the next couple of months getting to know each other, Sam finally worked up the courage to ask Sunny out in August! And the rest, as they say, is history!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found each other; two very different people who somehow fit together perfectly! Sam is the calm in the chaos: thoughtful, empathetic, endlessly traveling, and the kind of person who can make anyone feel welcome within minutes. Sunny brings the passion and spontaneity: always dreaming up the next adventure, full of energy, curiosity, and just enough wild ideas to keep life exciting. Together, we balance each other in the best ways possible. What started as two separate lives somehow became one shared story filled with laughter, travel, late-night snacks and so much love from the people around us. We are so grateful to celebrate this next chapter with our favorite people. Thank you for being part of our story. We truly can’t wait to celebrate with you.
