Their first date
“This was years ago, when we first dated. We went to go watch a movie that is infamous for being terrible – Gigli. I’m honestly not sure what drove us to go watch this movie! Shortly after the movie started, there was a malfunction and the film reel (or whatever they were using) caught on fire and we saw the smoke and shriveling on screen! We like to joke around that the movie was so terrible that it self-destructed to prevent people from watching it.”
When they knew they had found the one
“After being friends for so long after our relationship, we truly enjoyed and appreciated each other’s personality, company and friendship. There was no “a-ha!” moment, but when we started dating again a few years ago, both of us knew that it was meant to be!”
The proposal
“Eunice’s best friend was getting married in Los Angeles over the weekend, so we decided to make the most of the trip and planned a mini-vacation. We drove to Las Vegas the day after the wedding to go see the canyons. We both had been talking about Antelope Canyon as a place on our bucket list, and decided that we’d go check it out! Without buying tickets ahead of time (a lot of reviews said we didn’t have to – false!), we headed out to the canyon early one morning. On the way, Eunice decided to call and see how many availabilities there were. On the first call, the tour company said there were no available positions, which make Sun anxious as he had a specific plan (little to Eunice’s knowing). Eunice called again a little later on, and someone had made a last minute cancellation, which worked out. We got there 1.5 hours early, and just relaxed while waiting for our tour. The entire time, Sun was quiet and seemed out of it, which Eunice thought was due to waking up early and driving for hours to get to the canyon! The tour started, and we ventured down into the canyon. It was about a 0.5 mile walk through the canyon, where Eunice kept asking to take a boomerang video, and Sun kept saying to wait until we got to a better part of the canyon. Eventually, we got to the last segment of the canyon, and Sun said this was the perfect spot. Luckily, a family that was in our tour had not gone up the ladder yet, so Sun asked the father to take a video for us really quickly. 1-2-3, Eunice poses, but as she looks to Sun, she saw him getting down on one knee. Sun had a speech that he memorized, which he forgot due to the excitement! The important parts were said, and as Eunice said yes, the tour behind us cheered and congratulated us.”
All about the ring
“The ring is a beautiful cushion cut (almost perfectly square!) ring with pave diamond on the platinum band. I love the fact that it is basically a perfect cushion, which was the most important thing for me. The size is perfect! I’m 99% sure that I had mentioned to Su that I wanted a cushion cut with pave, showed him photos of the exact ring I want (which I got!). But Sun will argue and say that the whole ring was his idea that he designed with a jeweler.”
One thing they love about each other
Eunice: “I love that Sun is able to make me laugh, no matter how I am feeling.”
Sun: “I love that Eunice brings the best out in me in every aspect.”
Their wedding vision
“We both love the idea of a rustic wedding, whether barn-style or tented. White, blush, dusty blue, and stained wood are the colors we are loving. We want something that is elegant yet laid back, where people will have a lot of fun. Most important is the love and celebration with our close friends and family!”
