The hosts
What began as a conversation quickly became a life we could both picture clearly, full of laughter, long conversations, shared ambitions, family, and the little routines that make a place feel like home.
We’re building our first home together. We have two cats, Saturn and Pluto. We’re happiest over coffee and a long conversation. Hawaii is next on our travel list.
I love Elaa for her smile, and for the way she loves her family. As the big sister, she has spent so much of her life looking after the people she loves. I want to spend mine looking after her.
I promise her a lifetime of chocolate pastries by her bedside, and even when we’ve told each other every story we know, I’ll still find new ways to make her laugh.
Devon is calm, thoughtful, and endlessly patient. He’s analytical and grounded, but also one of the most caring people I know. He has a quiet way of making life easier for the people he loves, and he’s usually the steady presence that keeps everything balanced.
A few notes
Gifts
A gift is 100% voluntary and optional. If you’d like to give something, you can use our registry, bring a physical gift to the reception, or mail it to 190 Chapel Ave, Apt 5015, Jersey City, NJ 07305. Most of what’s there is for the honeymoon — the room, the flights, the days on the island. The funds step in hundreds so a gift can feel like it came from you, not from a crowd. On the registry you can use a card or Venmo — Venmo doesn’t add a processing fee; a card does. If Venmo asks, Devon’s legal name is Chenyu Yang, and the last four digits are 0765.
