How it all began
Sofi and Sun first met in a fashion design class — CLO (some of you may know it well). Sofi, who had already survived many late nights on campus as a part-time student, wasn’t expecting Sun’s first words to her — in Chinese — to be:
“Are you a new student?”
She was confused, and a little amused.
At the time, their interaction went no further than small talk. Life moved on, and they were simply classmates.
It wasn’t until senior year — through senior prep, shared classes, and mutual friends — that they slowly became close. Between fabric runs, car rides, and long studio hours, a natural friendship formed. Easy, comfortable, and full of laughter.
During that season, Sofi was growing in her faith while navigating the end of a long-term relationship. Sun and a small circle of friends supported her quietly as friends.
Long before any romance, Sofi had once prayed a private prayer — that her future husband would one day say, “I love you more than the stars in the sky.” It was something she never shared with anyone.
Just days after her breakup, Sofi prayed to see shooting stars. That very night, she and Sun saw them streak across the sky again and again. For Sun, that moment quietly became a turning point in his faith. He later shared how it led him to reflect, repent from parts of his past, and desire to grow into a better man through Christ.
In the season that followed, Sofi and Sun began reading the Bible together and sharing their testimonies. What started as simple conversations became meaningful spiritual encouragement for both of them.
As time passed, his steady care, patience, and quiet kindness became a comfort to Sofi. Through prayer, honesty, and God’s timing, their friendship gently grew into love. They began their relationship shortly after Sofi’s birthday in January.
Then one day, Sun shared something surprising. He said he had been dreaming about a sentence connected to stars, without knowing why.
When he finally said it out loud, the words were:
“I love you more than the stars in the sky.”
Sofi was pleasantly surprised.
Because those were the exact words she had once prayed in secret — words she had never told anyone.
From classmates to friends to partners in faith, their story is one of God’s timing, quiet transformation, and a love written gently under the same sky that first brought them together.
