Our Story
Some love stories begin with a grand gesture. Ours began with a vintage soccer jersey — and one of us didn't even know it for a long time.
We met at Saesoon Church, where we were just two people in the same congregation, building a friendship without quite realising what it was growing into.

( Jihea )
Now we have a life that looks a lot like this: Saturday mornings at Hector's Deli in Fitzroy, afternoons watching soccer together (Jihea has come a long way), and Drake playing in the background of pretty much everything. Tony calls her darling. Jihea calls him Tonywony. It works.
When Tony proposed, he brought Jihea to a private wine room and handed her a photobook — every memory, every chapter of us, captured in photos. The last page was blank. For everything still to come, he said.
We're so ready to fill that page.
