Our Wedding

In the vibrant tapestry of university life, Bryan and Vi's love story began at the University of Central Florida seven years ago. Bryan, on the verge of graduating and heading to New York City for his engineering career, found himself captivated by Vi's presence on Tinder. Despite Vi's impending journey to medical school and her resolve not to be distracted, Bryan's arrival added an unexpected twist to her plans. Their connection ignited swiftly, each conversation weaving a deeper bond between them. For Vi, who had always prided herself on her independence and focus, Bryan's entrance into her life was both thrilling and daunting. She grappled with the idea of letting someone else into her carefully crafted plans, yet Bryan brought a sense of comfort and joy that she couldn't ignore. As Bryan contemplated his future in New York, he found himself drawn to Vi in ways he hadn't anticipated. The prospect of a long-distance relationship seemed daunting, but the thought of leaving Vi behind felt even more so. Against all odds, he made the bold decision to stay in Orlando, choosing love over the allure of the bustling city.Together, Bryan and Vi embarked on a journey filled with adventure and growth. They explored the depths of their connection, discovering new facets of themselves in the process. With Bryan's unwavering support, Vi felt empowered to pursue her dreams of medical school while cherishing their shared moments of laughter and love. Now, as they stand on the brink of marriage, Bryan and Vi reflect on the twists and turns that brought them together. They are grateful for the serendipitous encounter that sparked their love story and excited for the adventures that lie ahead. With each step forward, they know that their love will continue to be the guiding light, illuminating the path to their shared future.

Our Love Story

Our Story

Engagement Photos

Where we met: I was the new kid in Vi’s Kindergarten class!

Favorite memory: Naming a singular favorite memory would be impossible, but more recently I have loved all of our sleepovers where we would explore Bay Area, try new restaurants, watch movies/shows, and of course do our nails together (well…Vi would do both of our nails because I don’t have the skill)

Random fact about the bride: I have never seen anyone more confident than Vi when it comes to parallel parking.

Why do you think me and Bryan are a good match: I think Vi and Bryan complement each other very well. They both have similar values and understand the importance of taking care of each other and their respective families. 

Your personal bio (hobbies/ interests, occupation, fun fact about your self and how our relationship developed):

I’m currently a technical program manager at Square and I live in San Francisco. I love to travel and obsess over a new hobby every 6 months - right now I’m in my reading era (if you haven’t read Fourth Wing…why haven’t you?)! I’ve known Vi for about 23 years and since day 1 of that time, she has been like a sister to me. I can’t wait to witness her happily ever after when she and Bryan finally say “I do”!

I met Vivi in podiatry school! Where do I start with my favorite memories?! Well, it may not be hers but I loved going snowboarding for the first time together when she brought her turtle butt and knee pads. The trip was a great example of how Vi always brings fun and lightens any situation, from learning a new sport to even something as daunting as med school. 

I have many hobbies outside of podiatry school. I enjoy fitness and active things like pilates, surfing, Snowboarding, and tennis. I also love to bake and cook. I do some fashion modeling as well. In terms of Vivi and I's friendship, we really bonded over food, being girly together, and finding any excuse to go shopping and goof off. But as our friendship developed, it was clear that Vi cherishes her friends and will truly be your ride-or-die. I forever hope to do the same.

Hi, my name is Quynh, and I am a pediatric resident doctor! I am a lover of all things cute - including Studio Ghibli, Disney, Sanrio, and anime. As a fellow enthusiast of cute-things herself, it's no wonder that Vi and I became best friends back in freshman year of high school. Since then, we have shared so many precious memories. Some of my favorite memories include creating a trio with Alice (GO BAAs!) in high school, our cruise to the Bahamas, and honestly, any dancing or karaoke sessions that we have together. Vi will forever be one of the most passionate, hard-working, and loving people I know - and like a bright disco ball, her energy is extremely contagious and lights up the entire room. Growing up, I've always known Vi to be a hopeless romantic, and she always wanted her first love to be her last. Cheers to yet another dream come true, and I wish nothing but happiness for the lovely couple!

Hi there, I’m Annabel! I’m an occupational therapist at an acute care hospital, but in my free time I love traveling, reading, trying new foods, and going to Disney :) Vi and I have actually known each other since before the womb 😉 Both of our grandmothers had their market stands right next to each other in Vietnam way before we were born, so Vi and I have actually known each other since before we even knew our own names. However, my friendship with Vi really bloomed in undergrad-and wow am I so grateful that it did. I am so unbelievably lucky to have such a loyal, loving, and passionate friend in my life and I couldn’t imagine it any other way. My fun fact about Vi is that she was actually at my house right before her first date with Bryan- I remember all the excitement she had and I knew that something special was about to happen. Vi is someone who will be there for you no matter what and she brings such light into each person she comes into contact with- I am so honored and excited to be a part of hers and Bryan’s special day!

Annabel Dinh

Hi, I’m Thao! Vi’s known me all her life (so lucky), since we’re cousins. But in all honesty, she is more like a sister to me. Over the years, we’ve made some pretty great memories - from dinner together at California Pizza Kitchen in Hawaii to sharing pig shaped gelato ice cream when Vi would visit our family in SoCal. But, my fondest and favorite memory was when she met my baby for the first time last year. She spoiled him like a true auntie would! I’ve had the pleasure of not only seeing Vi grow, but also seeing her relationship with Bryan blossom as well. I’m so excited for their next chapter and can’t wait to celebrate the happy couple! 

About me, I’m a new mom to an awesome 1.5 year old, Ethan. You can catch him as Vi & Bryan’s official ring bearer! Other than enjoying motherhood, I love spending my time at concerts, working in real estate with my husband, or looking for the next best coffee shop.

Hello beauties, I’m Anni! I’m a psychology resident working towards my PsyD. I love Sanrio, Miffy, self-care, glitter, and everything cute. Every moment with Vivi is full of laughter. I could not ask for a more fun, free-spirited, caring person to be my cousin and the older sister I never had. She motivated me to grow in many ways, to challenge my bubble of comfort, and I’m so grateful to be part of her own growth. I remember gushing hearing Vivi speak about Bryan when they first met! Seeing their relationship bloom is incredibly heartwarming. These two are different in many ways but balance one another so beautifully. I wish nothing but the kindest, funniest, loveliest days for them <3

Anh "Anni" Pham

Bryan and I go way back, which is why I'm his best man—not just because I'm his brother or anything. 

A little about me: I'm a proud Gator, a physical therapist, and a big soccer fan. I enjoy working out especially with Bryan and just like being active in general.

Andy Huynh

Hey everyone! I’m Khoa Pham, the proud younger brother of the beautiful bride, Vivi, and thrilled to be one of Bryan's groomsmen. I’m beyond excited to celebrate these two amazing people who are perfect for each other. As someone who loves food and tech, I can’t wait to dive into the festivities—and maybe taste a little extra of the wedding cake! Here’s to Vivi and Bryan and a lifetime of love and happiness. Let’s make it unforgettable!

Khoa Pham

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Bryan for almost two decades, and it’s been an incredible journey filled with adventures and unforgettable memories. I’m thrilled to stand by his side as he marries the love of his life. When I’m not cheering on my friends, you can find me hiking or experimenting with new recipes. Here’s to love and a fantastic celebration!

Damian Garvey

Hi, my name is thuong do or some of you might know me as Bob. Bryan and I became close lovers back in our college days. Out very first night hanging out, we shared a very intimate poop session in the education building at UCF before we went out and played pick-up soccer at the IM fields. After that night we were inseparable, studied together, worked out together, worked together, vacationed together, and even lived together for a few years. Then came Vi and she ended everything and now I’m watching Bryan and Vi getting married on the sidelines. Yeah, I’m happy for you guys. Congratulations to Bryan and Vi! 

Thuong "Bob" Do

I first met Bryan while working at his parent's restaurant as an international student. At first, I just thought of him as another Vietnamese guy who grew up here, speaking perfect English and going about his life. But things changed when he came to me for help with social media content for his soccer card group. From there, we built a real bond—going to card shows, making some silly content together, and just having a great time. I got to know the real Bryan: super smart, funny, creative, a man of his word, packed with action, loyal, and someone you can always count on. Over the years, he’s become more than just a friend—he’s a brother to me.

Kien Nguyen

My name is Jon and I live in Oakland with my fiance Leslie! Bryan and I met about 4 years ago at a card show (who would’ve guessed). I was still new to the sports card hobby. While we had only spoken for a bit during the show, he saw me waiting for my Uber outside and offered to drive me all the way back to home, which took me by complete surprise. We joked around the whole ride back and made plans literally the next week to go on another weekend trip to LA with our friend Kenneth. This started it all, trips around the country going to shows, and now we both run our card breaking business together. I never would’ve thought that conversation and ride back would lead to all of this. I feel blessed every day that I get to run a business for a hobby I love with one of my best friends. Congratulations Bryan and Vi!


Jonathan Bochicchio

Bryan and I met when we were both getting into cards and I “slid into his DM’s”. Fast forward several years later, I’m blessed to call him one of my closest friends and someone I’ve traveled the world with!

I’m still a big card guy and now have a full-time job creating sports card content! I played basketball in college (Wake Forest) and overseas (Philippines), but now am back living in my hometown of San Francisco.
