Private Wedding Edition
Orange County / November 28, 2026
Together with their families, Edwin and Grace joyfully invite you to celebrate their love and the beginning of their forever.
Before The Day
Before the ceremony, before the dance floor, before the last song, there were years of small moments that made this day feel possible.
July 20 / The question before the question
On July 20, 2022, after four years of friendship and 28 days of dating, Edwin gave Grace a card asking her to be his first ever girlfriend. He was so nervous to ask her that he hid the card in her shoe.
San Diego / Long-Distance Love Story
One month later, Grace moved to San Diego to begin grad school, marking the start of their long-distance love story. Though 110 miles apart, Edwin found every way to stay close. He called Grace and stayed on FaceTime with her every day, through her study nights, quiet dinners, and every night when she fell asleep. Some calls lasted more than 72 hours, ending only when FaceTime finally gave out — a small reminder that even distance couldn’t keep them from choosing each other, day after day.
Hawaii / The rainbow after yes
After Grace’s second year of law school, Edwin took her to Hawaii to celebrate her 25th birthday. Little did she know, this would be their last trip as boyfriend and girlfriend. Beneath a Hawaiian rainbow, Edwin got down on one knee and asked her for the honor of loving her forever.
Proposal Dispatch
In Hawaii, Edwin and Grace filmed themselves high-fiving at every stop. On Sand Beach, after a day full of almost-moments and perfect timing, Edwin went in for the high-five and dropped to one knee instead.
Some moments arrive already framed.

Thank you for responding. This is where the extra memories can live without crowding the invitation.
Winter Retreat
Before they were together, Edwin pretended to get on one knee as they walked into Sky Zone. It became a funny little preview of the future.
July 20
The envelope and letter Edwin gave Grace when he asked her to be his girlfriend. A small paper moment that started a much bigger story.
Santa Anita
One of their first dates at the fair near Santa Anita Mall. Around 9 PM, the ride made sure the memory stayed funny.
Hawaii
The beach proposal, the ring, and the first rainbow they saw the whole trip. Some moments really do arrive already cinematic.
