Our Wedding

Mike and Angie met at the tender age of 14 at Century High School in Hillsboro, Oregon. They were high school sweethearts and continued their love throughout college at Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Mike graduated with a degree in Nuclear Medicine Technology and Angie finished with a degree in Radiologic Technology. Mike did his extern at U.C. Davis Medical center where he is currently working. After Angie's extern at University of Washington in Seattle, she moved to Sacramento where she is working as a Computed Tomography technologist at U.C. Davis Medical as well. Now they'll be tying the knot 13 years later!

STORY

After making a secret trip back to their hometown of Hillsboro, Oregon to ask the blessing of Angie's parents and family, Mike planned to pop the question on their anniversary. He put together an itinerary in Napa Valley, California that began with dinner plans. Prior to the dinner, Mike told Angie he wanted to check out the Castello de amorosa, a beautiful winery and vineyard. What Angie didn't know was that the week before, Mike was up there with his sister and brother in law masterfully planning how he was going to do it. As they walked up to the castle towards the spot where he chose to propose, Mike pulled out his phone and asked a tourist if he would take their picture for them. The tourist handed the phone to his wife and as she stepped back to take the shot, Mike nervously got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. The rest of their weekend was spent wine tasting and exploring Napa valley.

The Proposal

Our Story

Details

I met Eric in middle school on a basketball court through a mutual friend. We got in a fight the first time we met because I was schoolin him and he couldn't take it. It's funny how life works because over the years, he grew to be one of my best friends. We went to the same high school and although we went different paths in life over the years, we still keep in touch daily. Those who know me well know that one of the qualities that I value most in my relationships is loyalty and throughout our friendship Eric has supported me in my every decision no matter what.

Michelle is my younger sister, and also my biggest headache (next to her future BIL). But I could not imagine having anyone else right by my side on my special day. She's always been there for me and has been so patient with me and my bridezilla moments. NO RAGRETS picking you as my MOH!

Michelle Tieu

Gina is one of my closest friends, and even though we don't see or talk to each other as much as we used we always pick up where we left off. And whenever we are together, there is never a dull moment. I think we're even closer friends because we find satisfaction in knowing that our guys' think we're bad influences on each other! XXOO

Tri is my one and only older brother. With four sisters in our family, he was the one I clung to when the estrogen levels got too high in my house. Tri has always looked out for me when we were younger and I continue to look to him for guidance and support.

I've known Harben since our Indian Hills Elementary school days. Harben has always been the class clown and I can always count on him for a good laugh. We were on the same wrestling team in high school and fought back and forth for the 112 lb weight class. Through my years of knowing Harben, he's taught me to not take life too seriously and to have a little fun once in a while.

Tammy is my cousin, and we've always had a close relationship. But we bonded even more this past year while I was living in Seattle. I don't think I would've enjoyed living up there as much as I did if it weren't for her. I am so excited to have you up there with me on my big day. It's not that good, but it's good.

I never had a little brother growing up, but that changed when I met Khang in high school. We had two things in common that molded our friendship; we were both immigrants from Vietnam, and we both like to bboy or breakdance. We practiced together and eventually joined our Portland based crew Def Con 5 where we entered many competitions and battles together.  

Khang Nguyen

Genny is also my cousin and we literally grew up in diapers together. I'm so glad we've stayed close after all these years. Every wedding party needs that little sassy fireball, and I honestly cannot think of anyone better to fill that spot but her. The bouquet toss is all yours, I won't snatch it from you this time!

Genny Nguyen

Who else would I have as my flower girl, if not my baby cousin...the one and only Addie Lim? Please try not to steal the spotlight from me with your cuteness on my wedding day!

Addison Lim

Dang Huy is my very first nephew. He is considered the little prince in our family and since he was a baby, we have always had a close bond.
