Our Story

When the Vu meets the Trinh 💖 Khi Em gặp Anh

English translation:

When Long packed his life into two suitcases and left Portland, Oregon, for a new job in Washington, D.C. in 2023, he thought it was just a career move, a fresh start at the nation’s capital. What he didn’t expect was that the move would change his life forever.

Across the river in Virginia, Allie had spent most of her life building her career and chasing her dreams while learning who she truly was after a few chapters of uncertainty. She had reached a point where she was ready for something real, a true partner to build a future with.

In a busy city filled with even busier people, Allie and Long “bumbled” their way to each other’s page of preference by the end of January 2024. A few fumbles (three reschedules and a flu) later, they finally met for sushi down in Georgetown—and the night was ✨Bejeweled✨. From that moment on, they found comfort in each other’s presence, shared values, loyalty, and trust.

That Christmas, Allie introduced her family to his wing. By the following summer, on July 4th 2025, surrounded by loved ones and fireworks, Long introduced Allie to the engagement ring.

The story isn’t just about finding love, it’s about finding belonging in someone who makes every place feel like home.

Though their journey began on opposite sides of the country, fate clearly had other plans:

“Isn’t it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?”
—Taylor Swift✨



Phiên bản Tiếng Việt:

Khi Long thu xếp cả cuộc sống của mình vào hai chiếc vali và rời Portland, Oregon để đến Washington, D.C. nhận công việc mới vào năm 2023, anh nghĩ đó chỉ là một bước tiến trong sự nghiệp, một khởi đầu mới tại thủ đô quốc gia. Điều anh không ngờ đến là chuyến đi ấy đã thay đổi cuộc đời mình mãi mãi.

Bên kia dòng sông ở Virginia, Thảo đã dành nhiều năm cuộc đời để xây dựng sự nghiệp và theo đuổi ước mơ, đồng thời tìm lại chính mình sau những chặng đường đầy những câu hỏi. Đến một lúc, cô nhận ra mình đã sẵn sàng cho điều gì đó thật sự — một người bạn đời đúng nghĩa để cùng xây dựng tương lai.

Giữa thành phố bận rộn và những con người còn bận rộn hơn, Long và Thảo đã vô tình quẹt trúng nhau vào cuối tháng 1 năm 2024. Và sau vài lần lỡ hẹn (ba lần dời lịch và một trận cảm cúm), họ cuối cùng cũng gặp nhau tại một quán sushi ở Georgetown. Từ khoảnh khắc ấy, cả hai tìm thấy sự bình yên, trung thành, giá trị, và niềm tin trong nhau.

Mùa Giáng Sinh năm đó, gia đình nhà gái ra mắt gia đình nhà trai. Và ngày 4 tháng 7 năm 2025, giữa pháo hoa và những người thân yêu, Long “ra mắt” Thảo một chiếc nhẫn đính hôn.

Câu chuyện này không chỉ là hành trình tìm thấy tình yêu, mà còn là hành trình tìm một người khiến mọi nơi đều trở thành “về nhà”.

Dù hành trình của họ bắt đầu từ hai đầu Đông Tây đất nước, nhưng duyên số âm thầm có kế hoạch khác:
“Isn’t it just so pretty to think
All along there was some
Invisible string
Tying you to me?”
—Taylor Swift

Wedding Party

Linh Nguyen
Linh Nguyen - Bridesmaid
My eldest cousin and lifelong best friend, we grew up together in Vietnam and are now neighbors again in Portland, coming full circle for this special season. She is the ultimate creative "yes girl" every bride needs. I truly couldn’t do this without her expert eye and heart.
Truc Tran
Truc Tran - Bridesmaid
My best friend since I first came to the States. No matter the distance or time apart, our bond never fades, every reunion feels just like home.
Nana Tran
Nana Tran - Bridesmaid
Nana is the "big sister" I found in Portland who reassured my family that I would be well taken care of, so far from home. Her open heart and genuine kindness have made her an irreplaceable part of my life, and I am so grateful to have her by my side.
Julie Vo
Julie Vo - Bridesmaid
Julie is the Julia Child of my life: always caring, never afraid of a challenge. Whether she’s facing a new medical puzzle or a new chapter in life, she does it with a "bon appétit" attitude that inspires me every day.
Tesia Nguyen
Tesia Nguyen - Bridesmaid
My youngest cousin is truly the sweetest soul I know. She has a warmth of her own, and it’s so clear to see where she gets it from. Her mom, my wonderful aunt, Bac Trinh, has been such a guiding light in my life, and I see the Lord’s work shining through her and her daughter every day. The world is honestly a better place because of both of them. I’m so happy to have her kindness and her family by my side when I walk down the aisle.
Jay C
Jay C - Bridesmaid & Makeup
My girl is a Gemini, and honestly that is the best horoscope sign in my opinion. Every time we hang out, I know I’ll be laughing nonstop. Her wit is unmatched, and she always has the perfect comeback ready. Beyond the jokes, she carries a wisdom well beyond her years. A true hopeless romantic at heart, she’s on the lookout for her perfect match and trust me, she’s an absolute catch, with a lethal face card and a phenomenal personality.
Hung Trinh
Hung Trinh - Best Man
Youngest brother, Best Man, and the most patient person I know. Whether he’s managing teams as a Group Clinic Director or helping patients as a Physical Therapist, Hung brings a level of thoughtfulness and kindness to everything he touches. I’m so proud of the man he is today and thrilled to have him as my right hand for the wedding!
Steven Tran
Steven Tran - Groomsman
From roommates at age three to standing together at the altar, Steven and I have been through every stage of life together. He is a cousin who feels like a brother—always supportive, fiercely loyal, and never afraid to give me his honest, often unsolicited, opinion! Between his work as a Realtor, Real Estate Investor, and podcast host, he always makes time to be my biggest cheerleader. I’m incredibly proud of his success and honored to have him standing with me on my big day.
Hieu Nguyen
Hieu Nguyen - Groomsman
We’ve been friends since middle school, which means Hieu has seen it all! He is one of the most intentional and thoughtful people I know—even if he does occasionally overthink things, it’s only because he cares so much about doing right by others. It’s that dedication that makes him such a powerhouse as a Pharmacist and Operations Manager. Hieu has been by my side through every chapter of my life, and I am so proud of the man he has become. I’m honored to have my longest-standing friend standing with me once again as I get married.
Michael Nakashimada
Michael Nakashimada - Groomsman
From front-row pharmacy school classmates to best friends, Michael has been a constant in my life for years. We’ve gone on adventures that definitely tested our luck and shared memories that I’ll never forget (including the part I played in his own love story!). Michael is a loyal, reliable friend who I can always count on for honest advice or a much-needed laugh. I couldn't imagine my wedding party without him.
Richard Cao
Richard Cao - Groomsman
A trusted friend since our pharmacy school days, Richard is my go-to for honest and reflective advice. He’s a devoted husband, father, and Pharmacist who usually seems like the most grounded person in the room—until he decides it’s time for an adventure. Richard has a hilarious habit of being the most spontaneous person I know exactly when I’m at my most tired. From the streets of Vietnam to the lights of Vegas, he’s the one pushing me to explore when I’m ready to crash. I’m so grateful for his loyalty and his ability to always keep me on my toes.
Joe Tran
Joe Tran - Groomsman
From the early days of his legendary gatherings in Seattle to the close bond we share today, Joe has been a constant in my life. We shared everything from adventures across Asia (shout out to his wife Nana (aka my BFF) for letting me 3rd-wheel their honeymoon!) to the milestone of buying my dad a home. Joe balances his life as a Pharmacist and Realtor with a genuine heart for helping others. He has been an incredible friend through every stage of life, and I’m honored to have him standing with me today.
Jay Su
Jay Su - Groomsman
If you want the best sushi in Oregon, you go to Yama; if you want one of the best friends a guy could ask for, you talk to Jay. Even though we haven't known each other the longest, Jay’s kindness and genuine nature made him an instant brother to me. From being an incredible host at his restaurant to being a constant support in my life, I couldn’t be prouder to have Jay standing with me when I say "I do."
