When and how did you first meet Chris?

I first met Chris first semester of our second year in college. I think we were walking back from a Friday night fellowship gathering. I remember thinking that she was really nice, but I didn’t really get to know her until after our second year when we studied abroad in Korea for a summer and semester.

What is a favorite memory that you have about Chris?

My favorite memories with Chris are the great times we had when we were in Korea. Chris, Becky, Janet, and I used to play what we call “The Pirate Game.” Anytime anyone lost, we would draw something on their face. It may not sound that exciting, but we had such a fun time.

What is something about Chris that people don't know, but you think they should?

People may already know this, but Chris has a lot of love and she shows it in many different ways (baking cookies for people, writing letters, etc.) She’s also very Martha Stewart-like in some ways…she can scrapbook, bake, cook, knit, make jewelry…just to name a few.

What did you think when you first heard Chris was dating Danny?

I was both surprised and happy. I guess I always knew it was only a matter of time before a great girl like Chris would be taken. ☺

When and how did you first meet Danny?

I think I’ve known Danny since the fifth grade, at least. We both grew up in Bakersfield (don’t laugh!), and I have vague memories of swimming in his backyard pool with his younger cousins. We never went to the same schools in Bakersfield, but our paths have crossed a lot over the years. We both went to Cal, we both worked at the Housing Rights Center (where Danny is currently working), and we both love Chris!

What did you think when they got engaged?

I was very happy to see that the both of them were happy. And I was also very happy that Chris was so excited to tell me about the proposal. Thumbs up to Danny for making her feel special that day because she is!

After all this though, I did think, “Who would have thought that a person I’ve known since the fifth grade would marry one of my close friends?” It’s a small, small world.

Seriously, how lucky of a guy do you think Danny is?

Very! Hahaha. I think I may have said that too quickly!

What are you looking forward to on September 19?

I look forward to seeing Danny and Chris enjoy every minute of their wedding!

We are registered at Macy's and Bed Bath and Beyond.

mazel tov, matey!

Looks like our wedding isn't the only occasion to be celebrated on September 19.

It is Rosh Hoshanah, which is the Jewish New Year.

It is also International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

So, no hard feelings if you need to dress up like a Jewish pirate to celebrate with us.

When and how did you first meet Chris?

I have a faulty memory but it was the 6th grade and it was probably orchestra. I'm sure there were straight bangs and round glasses involved as well.

What is a favorite memory that you have about Chris?

Hmm....hard to narrow down a favorite since we have so many. Playing the Messiah at various venues around the City; cross country; track, Kezar, and McDonald's; eating "romantical" dinners and going on "romantical" walks; exercising and then eating [= net zero] ... see how it's hard to narrow down? [Also, I realize that our friendship revolves around food!]

What is something about Chris that people don't know, but you think they should?

She has urges to bite babies...so babies, beware! :D

What did you think when you first heard Chris was dating Danny?

Yay!

When and how did you first meet Danny?

Maybe it wasn't the first time but it was at Poleng, sitting at the tables and it was super loud.

What did you think when they got engaged?

“Awwwww" then, "What's the best angle to take these pictures?" and "I knew I should have brought my bigger lens!"

Seriously, how lucky of a guy do you think Danny is?

20 out of 10.

What are you looking forward to on September 19?

Drinks! Haha, okay, I'll be serious. I'm looking forward to being there for another "life moment" of Seo's and hopefully be able to share in many others in the future with her and Danny.
