Our Wedding

Our Story:Some love stories unfold quietly, while others feel like something out of a movie — and ours has been a bit of both. We first met in October 2023 during our initial officer training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Assigned to the same platoon and squad during our initial training, we quickly became familiar faces to each other. On day one, Huyen made a quick Dad joke — the kind of lighthearted moment that caught Dylan’s attention and started a friendship that grew rapidly. From sharing study sessions and post-brief conversations to workouts and late-night chats in the lounge, it didn’t take long for something special to spark. As we got to know each other, we discovered a deep mutual commitment to our Catholic faith — a connection that quickly became a meaningful foundation in our relationship.&nbsp;By the end of training in late November, we both knew this was more than just coincidence — it was the start of something truly purposeful. The Proposal:After nearly a year together, Dylan planned a surprise that was months in the making. On December 1st, 2024, what Huyen believed to be a styled shoot for a friend’s “Winter Campaign” at Crystal Cove State Park turned out to be one of the most unforgettable moments of our lives. The plan was simple, yet perfect: posing for what seemed like candid couple photos, Dylan suggested they each look away and then turn toward one another — a playful setup for a photo retake. But on that second turn, Huyen was met not with a camera lens, but with Dylan down on one knee, ring in hand, asking her to spend forever together. The sun dipped below the horizon, waves crashed in the background, and joyful tears were shed. And just like that — she said yes. Looking Ahead:Since that day, we’ve continued building a life filled with laughter, shared goals, and meaningful memories. From our first trip together in Tennessee to dreaming about building our future home, every chapter has brought us closer. Fun Facts About Us:- Our go-to date night? Escape rooms and omakase dinners.- Our first getaway together was to Tennessee (and yes, there was a cabin involved!).- We share a dream of building our forever home and retiring side by side. Save the date: April 25, 2026 We can't wait to share this special celebration with each of you — thank you for being part of our journey!
