Tinder gets the credit for making their introduction, but between mutual friends and overlapping graduate programs at Johns Hopkins, it seems like Alyssa and Kenjin were fated to get together eventually.
Alyssa’s parents’ backyard was the outdoor venue of the couple’s dreams, allowing their international guests to feel right at home.
“I struggled to find a wedding band I liked because [the style of] my engagement ring [meant] that no matter what, there was going to be a gap. So I searched until I found something that I loved even more because of the gap. For the rest of my look, I wore my everyday jewelry, which Kenjin has gifted over the years.”

“I’m used to being shorter than Kenjin and I didn’t want that to be different for our wedding, so I was on the hunt for the perfect low heel. You never realize how many shades of white there are until you’re trying to match something to your wedding dress!”
“Being a huge fan of wedding TikTok, I love keeping up with all the trends. Throughout our wedding planning, I realized that, ultimately, no wedding is ever going to feel completely timeless. I just wanted to feel beautiful and happy on the day, so picking a trendy, textured veil and a modern take on pearl earrings made sense for me!”
“Kenjin knew he wanted something light and summery that still felt elevated, so what could be more perfect than a tan, linen suit?” —AC
