Marriage & Life Together

• First Meeting: Initially connected through a work project for the Seoul local government (Zach as a business planner, you in industrial marketing). Later, your paths crossed again when your families arranged a marriage between you both.
  ​
• Wedding: The arranged marriage took place not on Jeju Island or at a hanok venue, but in a modest ceremony attended by close relatives. Though unplanned by either of you, the event blended subtle traditional Korean elements with modern touches you both agreed on.
  ​
• Our Home: We live in an apartment outside central Seoul, equipped with home offices for both of us. The living room is decorated with photos from our trips and Zach's watch collection, while the kitchen is where we often gather to cook and share our days.
  ​
• Daily Life: In the beginning, our relationship was stiff and awkward with no romantic elements – just routine day-to-day living. Over time, Zach began making small gestures to build connection, like asking for a kiss before heading to work each morning. - Shared Habits: Every weekend, we visit local markets for fresh ingredients, explore Seoul's art museums, or relax at home watching movies or Korean variety shows.
