The Bride Yun Hui Kim, 26, physician The Groom David Lee, 27, physician The Date May 1 Dr. David Lee's heartfelt proposal to fellow doc Yun Hui Kim, whom he met in medical school, began with a white lie: Yun Hui would meet him at his place before dinner with his mother who was in town. But when Yun Hui, arrived, she found his place full of rose petals and lit up with candles. A sign directed her upstairs to a computer slideshow complete with their song playing in the background. Then she was directed downstairs where David was waiting to propose. As soon as I saw him, I started bawling and couldn't stop crying! she says. Later, he told me that he was afraid I was going to say no because I was crying so hard! Of course, I said yes. Afterward, they headed out for the small surprise engagement party David had planned with their families and friends.

The Bridal Bouquet
The programs were designed by the bride and groom on sage paper with an off-white floral print. The couple added special messages to family and friends, which were printed on translucent paper and taped to the back of the programs so that the floral print appeared in the background.
Yun Hui and David exchanged vows in a Catholic wedding ceremony at St. Francis de Sales Church, which they chose for its romantic, regal, and beautifully detailed decor. The pastor of David's parish in Canton officiated the ceremony, which incorporated the lighting of a candle on the altar in memory of David’s father, who had passed away three years earlier.
