Karen Vu was born and raised in Syracuse, NY and moved to GA in 2011. She currently lives in Lawrenceville, GA and recently graduated from Brenau University where she earned her Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy. Some of her favorite hobbies include going to EDM, rock, and K-pop concerts, working out at the gym, painting/drawing, playing cozy PC games, and spending time with friends & family.

Darren Chan was born and raised in Atlanta, GA and currently lives in Alpharetta, GA. He went to Cornell University in Ithaca, NY for his undergrad and earned his Doctorates in Pharmacology at the University of Georgia. He currently works for his family’s pharmacy that has been running for almost 30 years. Some of his favorite hobbies include going to EDM and rock concerts, collecting and customizing figurines, working out at the gym, and cooking & baking.

Karen and Darren first met at an EDM music festival in 2019. They went with a group of mutual friends and Darren caught Karen’s eye first, so she approached him and introduced herself. After hearing that his name was Darren, she instinctively said, “Hey, our names rhyme!” Then the rest was history.

Later that year, Darren started pharmacy school in Athens, GA and they would visit each other making an hour drive each way. They often spent their time working out at the gym together, trying out new recipes, and watching their favorite shows.

Darren proposed to Karen a year after graduating college by taking her out to their favorite restaurant (Eclipse Di Luna) for their 5-year anniversary. Karen thought it was just going to be just the two of them, but then quickly realized what was happening as she saw their friends standing outside the restaurant. Karen said yes of course, and then they all went to eat to celebrate!

We can’t wait to celebrate with you at our wedding ceremony and reception in June!
