In September 2017, destiny intervened when a mutual college friend paid a visit to Seattle to see Michelle. As luck would have it, she remembered that Kelvin had recently relocated to the same city, just as she was boarding her flight. That day marked the beginning of a beautiful journey as the three of them met for dinner and set the stage for the love story of Michelle and Kelvin.

Their connection blossomed as they bonded over their shared passion for boba and a culinary adventure. On the weekdays after work, Kelvin would eagerly make the drive down to Tacoma, where Michelle was pursuing her education. Weekends brought a similar commitment from Michelle as she drove up to Bellevue, where Kelvin made his home. Their love flourished through these miles traveled and moments shared.

In October of 2023, at Bellevue Downtown Park—the very spot where they shared their first date and spent countless hours strolling along its tranquil paths—Kelvin decided to seal their love story with a proposal. It was there that Kelvin took a knee, surrounded by the memories of their journey, and asked Michelle to be his forever.
