Deep in the throes of studying, and amid the works of great scholars and authors in the University of California, Riverside library, David and Grace met. “The rest,” as Grace puts it, “is science and history.” They held their fairytale wedding at the Mt. Woodson Castle, followed by a traditional affair true to Grace’s Korean heritage. They held a paebaek—a Korean ceremony meant to bring families together and offer marriage advice to the couple—in front of gorgeous wooden panels created by Grace’s grandfather. Reflecting on their families’ shared wisdom, Grace jests, “We should expect to have 30 or more kids in our marriage.” As the story goes, the rest is science and history.

Tried and True

“Constantly talk to each other about all topics—uncomfortable or not. Set a fair budget and carry on with fun and love in all you do.”

For paebaek, Grace donned a traditional Korean dress called hanbok, complete with a robe and headdress. The brighter the colors, she says, the brighter your spirit.
