Our relationship started out as acquaintances, non-stop conversing as cultural dance partners, lunch dates when school did not completely get in the way, loving each other's parent's home cooked Filipino and Vietnamese meals and finally asking if we can be more than friends on a snowy white January neighborhood stroll in 2010.

As we knew it, our nicknames changed to "Mommie" & "Daddie", we reached our professional healthcare goals, we bought our little perfect home, and found ourselves struggling with grade-school homework.

Fifteen unforgettable years have gone by and we are truly madly deeply in love with one another still.

The wait is over and we are finally ready to get married with the support of our loving family, friends and the Catholic Church.
