Echoes of a Shared Path

They first met on their very first day of work in Japan, around April 2023, when both had just joined the same firm. At the beginning, they didn’t interact much since they worked in different teams.

Their connection began to grow after a group zoo trip later that year, when he invited colleagues to a Christmas event at his church. She attended the event in December 2023, and from then on, they gradually became closer, often spending time together at church and continuing to enjoy each other’s company afterward.

Their bond deepened further when they began doing daily devotionals, sharing passages from The Daily Bread and reflecting on them with one another every day.

In April 2024—exactly a year after they first met—they officially became a couple.

Now, they look forward to celebrating their love in October 2025 with an intimate wedding surrounded by their family and close friends.

From different paths they came, a new city, a new land,

two souls adrift in Osaka, a chance to understand.

First, a glance across the office floor, then different teams they kept,

two quiet strangers, while their future dreams still slept.



But a zoo trip sparked a smile, a shared laugh in the air,

then a Christmas invite, a kind and simple dare.

She followed him to church, and from that winter's glow,

a deeper, truer friendship began to grow.



Daily bread, a shared word, a moment every day,

a quiet bond of faith that lit their winding way.

Then April came again, a year since their first meeting,

a new chapter opened, their two hearts truly beating.



Now they walk as one, toward a future bright and new,

an October promise, a love story pure and true.

GIFTS

Your presence at our wedding is the most meaningful gift we could ever ask for. If you would like to bless us with something more, we would be truly grateful for either a traditional gift or a monetary contribution towards our future together.

OUR UNPLUGGED CEREMONY

Put your phones away and your hearts on “record!

We’re having an unplugged ceremony—that means no phones, cameras, or videos while we say our “I do’s.” We’d love for you to be fully present with us in this special moment. Don’t worry—our photographer will capture all the magic, and we’ll share those memories afterwards. However, photos and videos are very welcome during the reception—tag us afterwards and help us relive our special day!
