Our Wedding

Our story began in August 2018, when divine timing brought us together through a series of Paul's not-so-subtle coffee runs to the café where Sam worked as a barista. What began as friendly encounters eventually turned into something more, when Sam’s mutual interest prompted her to ask Paul 'What type of Asian are you?' and proudly counted from one to ten in Vietnamese. It took some time as most good things do, but our paths continued to intertwine. In 2020 and amidst the stillness of the world during Covid, we started dating. Most days were spent bike riding down PCH or driving around delivering Doordash together, putting our relationship through the ultimate test of communication, teamwork, and patience. Over the next few years we traveled the world, visiting Mexico, Hawaii, Thailand, Philippines, Japan, and Vietnam. We grew closer to each others loved ones, celebrated career milestones, and were blessed to purchase our first home in 2022! Making it our own has been best season yet, and hosting loved ones is our favorite expression of the love we've built together. In August 2024, Paul proposed at the historic church in the Philippines where Sam’s father and stepmom were married—on her birthday, during a family vacation. It was a moment filled with love, meaning, and just enough predictability to make it perfectly us. What began with a simple coffee has blossomed into a beautiful testament of love. One built on laughter, faith, and the promise of forever. We are so excited to celebrate with each of you!
