"We worked at the same small office while in relationships with other people. We slowly became close friends over several months and regularly offered each other relationship advice. We eventually realized that we would be a perfect match, and were essentially pursuing each other! During a moment when we were both single, a mutual office friend who had seen the sparks between us took the opportunity to invite us both out to a dinner party and encouraged us to forget about the fact that we were work colleagues. We realized very quickly that our bond was founded upon true love and admiration for each other."

From the bride... "Funnily enough, Michael and I actually met on a dating app. We had our first date two days after Valentine's Day in 2015, on a Monday night at Michael's favorite hole in the wall sushi spot in San Francisco. We didn't have any of the first date awkwardness - the conversation flowed and we talked about everything. After dinner, we had a sweet goodnight kiss (which Michael later told me made him so excited he went home and told his roommate all about it!). After our first date, we started to spend as much time with each other as we could. We started a Monday date night tradition of going out to dinner in a different area of the city each time, which was a fun way to explore and get to know each other. Four months into our relationship, I went with Michael to his sister's wedding in Big Sur, and right after that, we went on a trip to Norway with my entire family. We loved getting to know each other's families, and by that point, it was clear to them that we had something special. My mom pulled me aside one evening in Norway and said she thought Michael and I would get married. She was right!"

"On a beautiful spring day in 2012, they were introduced by their matchmaker friends Rosy and Song, now known as Mr. and Mrs. Pang. The four of them had a delicious dinner together at Korean Garden in Boston. Winnie thought Nathan could be the perfect gym/party buddy. Nathan was amazed (shocked) by my humor and crazy jokes. They soon became friends. Although Cupid did not hit them first, romance came through 2 years later. A few weeks before April Fool's day in 2014, Winnie randomly thought of playing a prank on matchmaker number one Rosy by telling her that she was secretly dating Nathan, who was working in Beijing at the time. Rosy totally fell for it and told Winnie that Nathan had the hugest crush on her. Despite time zones and thousands of miles between them, Winnie felt his heart. Their love for each other brought Nathan back to Boston. Winnie believes it was destiny and meant to be. Nathan calls her his angel of luck, with a heart full of love."

"They met when they were only 11 years old entering the same middle school and became good friends. When moving on to separate high schools they lost touch and it wasn’t until their senior year, at the age of 17, that they reconnected. Their childhood friendship picked up right where they left it, only now with a romantic spark. Jessica fell in love with Kyle's funny personality and carefree view on life. Kyle was attracted to Jessica's loving nature and how she always made him feel so special. When it was time to go away to college they decided they weren’t going to let different schools or distance get in the way this time. They maintained a deep loyal connection while Kyle went to school in New York and Jessica studied in Colorado and Italy. As they celebrated 10 happy years of love and friendship this past October, they couldn’t be more excited for their future together as husband and wife. As they think back over the many years they have shared together they feel so blessed and lucky to have had such constant loyalty, support, love, and respect as they've grown together in life in what began as two young kids in love."
