Got Married!
August 8th, 2015
A music lover at heart, Kurt never passes the chance to drum a beat with his fingers when he's inspired by any and all genres of music. Although he studied Music Industry at USC, he is now a partner at Fagan & Fagan, LLP, a full service accounting firm located in Cerritos, California.
Having a keen eye for aesthetics and the capability of a handy-man, he's been spending his spare time (which isn't much!) fixing up his home in Lakewood. His accomplishments this past year include a new and improved bathroom and a refaced kitchen.
Kurt loves trying different cuisines, and he sure can cook too!!! His best dishes are born from the BBQ, but he and Zen love to experiment in the new kitchen with exotic flavors and unique recipes.
Kurt's thoughtfulness, patience and persistence won Zen's heart, and he is excited to share their special day with you.
Meet Zen. She's a So Cal native who has never strayed far from the beach.
Zen began her schooling in beautiful San Diego graduating from UCSD. After a brief stint in the working world, she headed north to Santa Monica where she attended Emperor's College to learn the art of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Having found her life's true calling, in 2013 she became a Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist and opened her very own medical practice in Pasadena, California.
Zen loves music, the outdoors, fabulous food, and never passes up a good time with friends and family. Zen's greatest gift is her ability to inspire everyone she meets to strive for better health and happiness. She's a healer in the truest sense of the word.
As the most intelligent, caring, and beautiful woman he knows, Zen cured Kurt's aching heart when she accepted his proposal to wed on Christmas 2014. Today, Zen hopes that you will accept her proposal, to join her and Kurt in celebration of their love as they make a home together this August.
Zen and Kurt first met in 2003 through mutual college friends, but it wasn't until 2007 that they started hanging out and building their friendship. Monday nights were for bowling at Action Lanes in El Monte, and the weekends were usually spent running around Vegas, Hollywood, and K-Town getting into trouble.
On New Year's Eve 2014, Kurt confessed his love to Zen. From that day on, they have been inseparable. On the second day of the new year, Zen and Kurt had their first date at Almansor park, just 100 feet from the place they will say their ``I Do's`` in August.
In their spare time, you will find Zen & Kurt enjoying live music, indulging in unique cocktails and chatting about their hopes and dreams for the future. Of course, currently most of their time is spent discussing all the details about the upcoming wedding. They enjoy camping in the Fagan RV, and have visited places such as Big Sur, Kern River and Temecula. They plan to travel more in the coming years, with hopes of touring both Italy and Greece.
On Christmas day, following a family dinner with Zen's brothers, cousins, and parents, Kurt popped the big question. To see the entire proposal, click the image above.
Kurt's brother Scott is proficient in all of the skills one would expect of a diplomat of his caliber including linguistics, history, fantasy sports, and lead vocals of which he displays his talents in the embassy cover band ``Castro's Beard.`` His main interest in his job, however, is the jet-setting lifestyle it affords with his wife Christine, and two glorious children, Conall Richard and Devlin Daniel. Scott's only true skill outside of diplomacy, is Ultimate Frisbee. He is fond of drinking, ``tactical`` turtlenecks, making obscure pop culture references, and has a penchant for Star Wars trivia and Burt Reynolds.
Just like how she pampers her chihuahua Coco, Ena knows how to pamper herself with her bi-weekly massages. With a sharp eye for fashion, Ena has been relentless in her career, working with a wide array of styles from Jeans to cotton wear. Ena was given the nickname ``Winter`` because she can be firm and cold when she attempts to get what she wants, which she usually does!
An American born Chinese kid by way of the big Apple and Beijing, China, Pat was dropped into Southern California to attend USC and study business which is where he first met Kurt. Together at USC they spent most of their time hard at their studies learning the many classical disciplines that would properly prepare them for their professional careers. In their free time they became brothers of Beta Omega Phi. Pat loves all things sports especially golf. He hates to drink but we'll try to get him to have a toast on the big day anyway.
Zen's bathroom buddy since her high school party days. Together they learned how to ride bikes in their later years in life. A true Philanthropist, Melody spends many weekends working for her Junior League or volunteering with kids. With a love for fine foods, Melody takes her palate to the oven where she's mastered baking numerous desserts. Zen enjoys the outdoors with Melody when they get together for their hikes.
As one of Kurt's oldest friends, Kurt and Corey's story began at Sunday School in the fourth grade at Temple Beth Ohr. There they joined BOTY, the Beth Ohr Temple Youth group and after that, NOC AZA, of the b'nai b'rith youth organization. As a fellow Cerritos native, Corey attended Whitney High School graduating with Kurt in 1998. At Whitney Kurt and Corey did pretty much everything together; Soccer, Music, terrorizing the highways of South Orange County and the trashcans of Shadow Park. After Whitney Corey made his way to Cal Poly San Luis Obisbo to obtain a degree in Recreation, Parks & Tourism. After college, Corey returned to the Cerritos area to marry his wife Kerran, have two boys, Ethan and Caleb, and make his home just a mile from Kurt's in Lakewood, California. Another avid sports fan, Corey loves the the Angels and runs the parks division for the City of Los Alamitos.
An early riser, this maid of honor does not let time slip by as she runs half marathons and attempts obstacle course challenges. One of Zen's favorite memories with her is hiking the Half Dome in Yosemite, which took them over 10 hours to complete. Alice lives in Orange with her fiancee, Natasha and their adorable dogs Gizmo and Watson. They are currently planning their wedding in Oregon.
If not for Brad, Kurt would most likely never have met his wife to be. As high school friends with Zen and her fellow San Marino girls, Brad made the introduction more than 10 years ago while living with Kurt in West LA.
There isn't much that Kurt and Brad don't have in common. Computers, cars, a passion for web development and music, a good drink and good company whenever the opportunity affords it. Brad is a fellow Trojan and Beta, and he is married to his wife Annie for whom Kurt had the honor of serving in their wedding party last March.
Former colleagues at Sweda, Edith and Zen met during their first days on the job , and their friendship immediately burgeoned. Together they've supported each other through numerous life and relationship challenges, and together they've rampaged through countless Vegas trips. It would be no surprise for Zen to sleep over Edith's house and lounge in bed all day in Edith's Hello Kitty pants.
