Kim Hoa & Anthony

Kim and Anthony's story began with laughter.  This is fitting because it is the foundation and bedrock of their relationship.  From laughter came attraction, then admiration, and then love.  Like any good story, however, the MicBui love story is more an epic than a haiku.

In August 2017, Kim attended a Connor McGregor fight watch party at the home of Kevin Stout, which insiders referred to as the Stout Shack. Kim had been invited to attend as one of the guests of Brandon Takahashi, a formidable Los Angeles attorney, whom she had met through a mutual friend. Despite the fact Kim would only know Brandon at this party, owing to her gregarious nature, adventurous spirit, and insatiable curiosity, she came to the Stout Shack.

Anthony is a good friend of both Kevin and Brandon, whom he met among so many others through a business and philanthropic networking group.  As such, he had attended many Stout Shack events, and knew many people at the party.  That night, however, he would meet the woman he would later ask to marry him.  

Brandon introduced Anthony to Kim just after he finished rapping to an unrecallable 90s hip hop jam.  Kim was intrigued by Anthony's goofy confidence – he wore a tie and button-down shirt to a pool party and was blindingly pale white in his otherwise athletic appearance, but he had soul, and she could sense he had passion, empathy, and intelligence.  Anthony became immediately intrigued by Kim because of her beauty, intellect, and self-confidence.  The laughter began that night and would continue again a few years later.

In November 2019, Anthony invited Kim to a fundraising social he was hosting for Parkinson’s disease. Kim had a friend’s wedding to attend on the same day, but she decided to stop by the fundraiser beforehand. When she arrived to greet Anthony, their connection was immediately revived, and thus began their continued journey.   

Through dating and through Covid-19, as well as everything else brought on by 2020, Kim and Anthony have maintained a true love and friendship, punctuated by laughter, hopes, and dreams.  They look forward to their next chapter and thank you for being a part of their lives.
