When an Irish βοΈ decent American native baby boy, Bryce was born in πΊπΈ San Carlos, California, he lives on a street that owned half of the properties by a neighbor family who have the last name: "Wong". So he has been calling Dolton Ave β The βWongβ Way as the Right Way ever since. π€·πΌ Later on in year 2000, when Reanne was still on the other side of the globe in Hong Kong ππ° before her immigration to the πΊπΈ United States, she fell in love with an Irish βοΈ boyband: Westlife. Together she went crazy with her Maid of Honor, Winnie (another Wong) over them when they were early teens. Reanneβs favorite member of the boyband happened to have the last name βEganβ as well, which she always dreamed of being a βMrs. Eganβ and itβs finally coming true 3 decades laterβ£οΈ
In the summer of 2019, something unfortunate happened to Reanne one day. Her favorite π Scion tC was totaled by a πΊπΈ US Veteran. π€·π»ββοΈ Her car insurance company scheduled her an Enterprise car rental. At that time, Bryce was covering for an Enterprise Manager at the Belmont location, which he usually only worked at the San Mateo location. On a morning, Bryce came over to an auto body shop and picked up Reanne to rent a car. Bryce walked into the door in a professional suit, and introduced himself to Reanne with the brightest smile. The sunlight literally made Bryce's face glew. Reanne then knew she had fallen for the guy, like how God knew she always had a thing for the Irish boys βοΈ It was only a one-block ride back to Enterprise-Rent-a-Car, and they had discovered so much in common already in just a short time. They confessed that their favorite sports team was the π Warriors and their favorite country in the world was π―π΅ Japan. They also competed in each other's high schools sports teams previously, and guess what?! Out of this many colleges and universities in the world, they happened to both attend UC Santa Cruz! π² It was just so much surprises, all positive! π€
Reanne had no idea Bryce was an Early Bird βοΈποΈ When Bryce asked Reanne to go on a First Date on a Friday night, he legit no-show and no-call. So Reanne thought: "Okay... just another dude passing by..." She went back to sleep, and woke up in the next morning with a surprise text from Bryce. He apologized to Reanne for being too tired from a whole week of hard work, and he offered to take her out on a real First Date on the following Saturday. π They did some fun things around the local areas on their First Date. They got to know each other more, and ended up at Dave & Buster's. They competed and played so many arcade games with each other, it was a blast! πΉοΈ Bryce won Reanne's first gift: a Warriors fan plush!π In that evening, Bryce drove Reanne to a "Secret Place" which he did not reveal until they reached the destination. Bryce kept Reanne's eyes closed and hugged her behind, "I knew it wouldn't be a mistake to take you here." That was the night he showed Reanne the Egan Family Sailboat β΅οΈπ Still remembering how clear the sky was, and the reflection of shining stars on a little wavy ocean water was absolutely beautiful π
Reanne & Bryce visited Knott's Berry Farm on Jan 1, 2023 New Years Day. Knott's Berry Farm is America's first themed park even before Disneyland or Universal Studio. Bryce picked this place because Reanne is a huge Snoopy fan, and the park is perfect since it's Snoopy themed. πΆ When Bryce was still planning how to propose, Reanne felt like she was being ignored by Bryce because he kept walking away to think how to plan for it. Later, together they went to see the Snoopy ice skating show. During a scene, a man was proposing to a woman on stage. At that time, Bryce was thinking that was the moment! So he pulled out a Ring π and put it right in front of her face and whispered in her ear, "Will you marry me?" Reanne then said, "Yes" π€ποΈ That was a Special day, they got a Knott's Snoopy Christmas sweater for memories, as well as a gift from the Snoopy Store!
Reanne picked out the best chance to target on a house right before 2022 Thanksgiving. They only had 3 weeks to submit every necessary documents before the house had to be sold. With each other's help and support, their teamwork finally made it happen in such a short time. Together, they bought their own place in the beginning of New Year in January 2023. Then, in summer 2023 they adopted an elegant and cute kitten called "Azusa" π»π«Ά All 3 of them had been living in the new place happily ever since.
And 14 of them were in rural areas. They traveled and experienced so many fascinating moments, and met some kind local Japanese people that are still in touch to this day. They tried speaking majority of Japanese with the people in Japan. Every meal they had there were absolutely delicious; okay, except for one meal π€£ God really watched over them with timing. They also visited Noto, which just had the New Year Earthquake earlier this year. It was a beautiful town with amazing bay views and wonderful Onsen (hot springs). Please pray for their friends and the people there, as they were affected... They love Japan dearly π€
Five years ago on July 27, 2019, Bryce took Reanne to his Best Friend, Alex's π wedding to be the Best Man and gave a speech. Now Alex is going to do the same for Bryce. This was a special day for them, since that day they became an Official Couple. There Reanne got to meet some of the closest people Bryce loves. π Being with each other for five years is definitely God's Blessing for Reanne and Bryce β¨ Time flies quickly when truly in love and happy. The way how God works in our relationship is just beyond amazing, it was a Miracle. We are so grateful to share our Love Story with with all the people we love in our lives. Really looking forward to our Big Day celebration this summer! π°π»ββοΈππ€΅πΌ
