Story

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...
(8 years ago, in London...really) Ken and Yena met for the first time during a pub crawl at medical school.

It took a few dates for them to get to know each other, including going to the premiere for Interstellar, sharing a Häagen-Dazs, and a walk past the London Eye.

After a home-cooked carbonara on Guy Fawkes night, Ken plucked up the courage to ask Yena to be his girlfriend. Ken and Yena became KENA and let's say the rest is history...

They share the love for Sci-Fi movies, travelling and tasting good food from every corner of the world. Ken got Yena to switch her allegiance to Man United, and Yena even got Ken into K-pop & golf!

Most of all, we cherish spending time with our family and friends. Hence, we cannot wait to celebrate with you all on our wedding day. Let's have a great party!

Be sure to check out more photos under "Moments" in the menu!
