The lovebirds met at a singles mixer organized by an online dating site in New York, in 2010. Schnorr, who lives and works in the Big Apple as the director of digital media at the New York Public Library, and Wong, stayed inseparable after they met.

Eight years after, they decided to get married in front of their family and friends.
