Ryan and I met in 2005 while working at our first jobs
at Great America Amusement Park.
We worked the Henna and Airbrush tattoo Kiosk.
I remember i had to train Ryan how to mix Henna.
According to Ryan,
he was first attracted to my accent and my inability
to differentiate nickel from dime hahaā¦
(I grew up in Singapore and came to America in 2004..
We didn’t have nickel/dimes wording).
I was attracted to his ability to make me laugh
even though we had a language barrier between us.
We dated until 2009 when we both decided to pursue
our individual passions/career-
him with skateboarding,
me with school psychology.
We spoke here and there between the years
but knew we couldn’t just be friends,
so we stayed away to help each other move on.
We both achieved our goals but could never find “the one”
in our separate dating encounters.
In 2013, while walking downtown San Jose,
a guy drove past me and yelled,
“I KNOW YOU”
Low and behold, it was Ryan.
The rest was pretty much history.
We reunited and got back together.
We had planned to get married in 2015,
but unfortunately I was diagnosed with
dysplasia pre cervical cancer
with presence of cysts.
We put our plans on hold and decided to try to have a baby
before I had to go under surgery,
and eventually would not be able to.
We tried,
and unfortunately miscarried our twins.
Right when I agreed to have surgery,
I was then told I was pregnant
š
with our now beautiful daughter.
While pregnant with my daughter,
her immune system started fighting off the dysplasia,
and I’m glad to say i am dysplasia free
šĀ
Sorry that was so long,
But i think our past, present went full circle
to make our wedding today work…
and
the struggles that come with it has made us pretty strong
which is really the glue that made it stick.
