Xiya and Woojin, both resident physicians at New York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia University Medical Center, met during orientation at a lunch in the hospital courtyard and then dated for two years before Woojin proposed during a sunset walk along the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.<\/p>\n

The pair dreamed of a Tuscan wedding before the end of their residency, but they needed a backup plan. Thanks to Xiya\u2019s sister, who nominated them, they won a micro-wedding for frontline workers from Petite Soir\u00e9e and wed with a 13-person brunch celebration in DC. (They look forward to an intimate ceremony with their parents, who live in China and Korea, at a later time.) The theme was Parisian garden romance, and the palette included dusty blues, soft pinks, cream, white, and gold. Xiya\u2019s favorite detail was the mood-setting musicians\u2014a harpist at the ceremony and a violinist for the brunch reception. For Woojin, who along with Xiya managed Covid patients in the hospital, the ambience at Anderson House \u201ctruly felt like an escape to paradise in the midst of the pandemic.\u201d Brunch featured shrimp and grits, French toast, ham biscuits, crabcakes, and a ros\u00e9 with edible flowers. The sweet ending was individual cakes served under glass domes inscribed with each guest\u2019s name.<\/p>\n
