Our Wedding

Our story began with a shared love for the outdoors — the kind of love that lives in ocean breezes, peaceful fishing mornings, and the quiet magic of nature. From coastal adventures to starry nights, we found joy in the simple things and strength in each other.Then came Tenji — our beloved cockapoo and the heart of our little family. Tenji brought even more love, laughter, and muddy paw prints into our lives. Whether chasing waves or curling up by the fire, Tenji has been with us every step of the way.Together, we made a big move to Texas — a new chapter filled with fresh landscapes, warm sunsets, and endless opportunities to grow. Texas gave us space to dream, explore, and build a life rooted in love and adventure.Now, as we prepare to say “I do,” we celebrate everything that brought us here: the ocean, the outdoors, our loyal companion Tenji, and the journey that turned two hearts into one.

The Gals

She’s the closest thing to a sister I could ever ask for. From day one, she’s stood by me—even in moments when I didn’t deserve it. With her big heart and unwavering honesty, she truly is the best. From childhood adventures to grown-up heart-to-hearts, Debbie has been there through every laugh, every tear, and every milestone. Her love, her strength, and her unwavering support have always been a guiding light in my life. Having her as my Maid of Honor is more than a title—it’s a celebration of the bond we’ve shared for a lifetime. I couldn’t imagine walking down the aisle without her by my side.

Debbie Nguyen

She’s been my friend since college—one of the sweetest and smartest people I know. While her mom was out clubbing, we were hitting the books, and I was keeping her fueled with snacks (she always lit up when food appeared!). Through those clubbing days and study nights, she’s proven to be one of the most dependable friends I could ever ask for. I’m beyond grateful to have you standing with me on my wedding day—it means the world.

Paola Montez

It only took her 10 years to finally get on board with the relationship—but now she’s not just a bridesmaid, she’s a great future sister-in-law. She’s the perfect mix of fun and “old lady” vibes, and I can’t wait for all the future SIL trips we’ll share together. I’m so glad to have you be a part of my wedding day.

Choulaphone Soundara

We’ve shared over 20 years of friendship—through times when we were far apart and moments when we were inseparable. From the clubbing days to the quiet ones, she’s always been a constant in my life. Her loyalty and her positive outlook on life have carried us through it all, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her by my side. 💕

The Boyz

Some friendships are built to last — and ours began back in middle school. From awkward school days to life’s biggest milestones, we’ve been through it all together.
He’s been more than a friend — he’s a brother, a confidant, and now, my best man. Whether it was late-night talks, wild adventures, or just being there when it mattered most, he’s always had my back.
Having him stand beside me on this day means the world. It’s a celebration not just of love, but of loyalty, laughter, and a friendship that’s stood the test of time.

Every great adventure needs a partner — and for me, that’s been Phong Nguyen.

From early morning fishing trips to late-night drinks and deep conversations, Phong has been a constant in my life. Whether we’re swapping recipes in the kitchen or exploring the great outdoors, he brings energy, laughter, and loyalty to every moment.

Our bond was built on shared passions — the thrill of the catch, the joy of cooking, and the peace found under the open sky. Phong’s been there through it all, and I’m honored to have him standing with me on this unforgettable day.

Phong Nguyen

Richard’s been more than just a roommate—he’s been my big brother, my late-night therapist, and my go-to partner for midnight coffee runs and impromptu dinners. From the chaos of 924 to the calm of early morning hangovers, he’s always been the one holding it all together. He’s the guy who keeps the lights on, the fridge stocked, and somehow still finds time to grab a drink when you need to unwind. And if something breaks—car, bike, or even your spirit—Richard’s the best mechanic you could ask for. Always dependable, always down, and always looking out for everyone else. If this wedding had a logistics manager, it’d be Richard. I’m lucky to have him in my corner—and even luckier to have him standing beside me today.

Richard Young

Shawn was my original roommate, my partner mischief, and the unofficial ringleader of our early-twenties chaos. If you’ve ever seen someone tear across a parking lot in dress shoes yelling “I got this!”—yeah, that was him. He’s the kind of guy who turns a quiet night into a full-blown adventure, especially after a few drinks. But beneath the party vibes and valet hustle, Shawn’s got a heart bigger than his bar tab and loyalty that never quits. I wouldn’t trade those wild nights—or his friendship—for anything. Just maybe keep a fire extinguisher near the open bar.

Special Mentions

Sweet, dependable, and always down for a good time—whether it’s a Vegas weekend or a football Sunday—Jonathan brings a whole lot of laughter to every moment.  He's been a steady presence in our lives, the kind of person you can count on for support, good vibes, and more than a few unforgettable nights. We couldn’t imagine anyone better to lead our ceremony—mostly because Jonathan experienced all the chaos through the years and still agreed to do it.

Jonathan Nguyễn

Nathan is my gentle, lovable "son" with a heart as big as his smile. He’s sweet, brilliant, and radiates warmth in every moment. On the big day, he’ll walk down the aisle with Tenji, adding a tender touch to a moment already filled with love. We couldn’t be prouder to have Nathan in this role—he’s the perfect little gentleman to help us celebrate something so special.

Nathan Del Rosario

Mia is my brilliant, spunky "daughter" who brings joy wherever she goes—and just enough sass to keep everyone on their toes. She’s fun, fearless, and whether she’s tossing petals like a seasoned pro or simply soaking up the spotlight, she owns every moment. Her energy is electric, her charm is magnetic, and her flower girl swagger? Absolutely next level. This celebration wouldn’t shine nearly as bright without Mia lighting up the day in her signature style.

Mia Del Rosario

The sweetest dog ever, with a heart full of love and a brain full of smarts. He may be “selective” about his food (just like his mommy), but he makes up for it with endless naps and the most chill personality (just like his daddy). Today, he’s not just part of the family — he’s carrying the rings that seal the deal.
