Andrea and Eric meet in their freshman writing seminar at Cornell. In the same semester, they struggle in Linear Algebra and become good friends.
Andrea gathers a group of friends to live on West Campus and invites Eric to join.
For the next two years, Andrea and Eric live on the same hallway and hang out often. At some point, their friend and neighbor Yoorie Chang tells everyone she's ordained and can officiate weddings. She's officiating this wedding.
Andrea starts writing for the Cornell Daily Sun and meets Meredith Liu. They bond over Marvel and Taylor Swift and later become roommates. She's the Maid of Honor at this wedding.
Andrea and Eric play Animal Crossing and watches K-dramas together over Zoom.
Eric starts his PhD at Columbia and meets Amanda Ooi. They bond over terrible lab equipments and BTS. She's the Best Mate at this wedding.
Eric attends Andrea's graduation and realizes he LIKE-likes her. He does nothing.
Andrea gets fed up and decides to have A Conversation™. They start dating.
They get engaged, and here we are.
Our ceremony and reception venues are both located on the west side of Manhattan, and are easily accessible by public transit.
The ceremony location, Ladies Pavilion in Central Park, is a ~7 minute walk from the 81 and 72 St Stations of the A/B/C trains, and ~15 min walk to the 72 St Station of the 1 train.
Our reception venue is one block away from the Houston St Station of the 1 train.
To get to our reception venue after the ceremony, you can take the A/B/C trains to 59 St and transfer to the 1 train, or walk to the 72 St Station of the 1 train and take it directly to Houston St. The total transit time is roughly 30 minutes.
You should also be able easily access Uber/Lyft right outside Central Park, though transit time for Uber/Lyft and MTA are likely around the same due to Manhattan traffic.
Cocktail attire. The ceremony is outdoors, so please make sure you'll be comfortable if it's hot outside.
We encourage outfits in the following color palette. No red please :).
We are thrilled to have you there on our big day, and sharing this moment with you is the greatest gift we could ask for.
Because we are still long distance and won't start our own home together until we graduate our PhDs, we kindly request no boxed gifts.
However, if you wish to honor us with a gift, we would be grateful for a contribution of any amount to our cash registry through the link below or on the day.
Please know that your love and well wishes are all we need, and we hope to see you soon!
Please RSVP before May 25th
