I can still remember the day we met.

I was twenty-two and had just finished my last year in college before starting graduate school.  It was a beautiful June day and I was sitting in the park that I used to go to as a kid almost every week.  I wasn't in a very good mood because I had just gotten some news that I knew I would be getting.

My ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend were getting married.

It had been a year since I'd seen either of them, not since I caught them together...in my bed.  I was devastated and pulled myself away from everyone.  I immersed myself in school and never made time for anyone.  I just wanted to be alone. 

I had run into them that morning at the coffee shop that I used to work at in high school.  It was awkward, seeing them, even more when we spoke.  That was when I caught sight of the glittering diamond ring on her left hand.  I couldn't get out of there fast enough before the tears were streaming down my face.  I was wanting it to be me wearing his ring on my finger, not her.

It was mostly about Faith as we ate.  She wouldn't stop talking, giggling, and smiling.  I didn't mind it one bit, though, because I got to see the two of you reacting with each other.  While you wiped off her face at the end of our meal, I looked around at the people in the diner. 

With Faith's giggles floating through the air, we were the center of attention.  Almost everyone was looking at us with smiles on their own faces.  I could even tell what one woman was saying.  We were 'such a beautiful family. 

"Our first meet was April 2013, nearly 1,5 year before the wedding day."

Quan & Angelique is couple who lives in the moments, loves simple and solid accessories, likes playing with cool and colorful essentials. Gone through movements, they have found love from each other, sharing, respect and say the same voice, even across countries. Living to the fullest, for this very “now” moments is how they treat life, beloves and to each other.

All those essences would be, somehow, injected into their wedding day in VietNam (by the way, choosing VietNam is absolutely a risky choice, currently in fact of the weather and political things). A strong emphasis on line and form gives contemporary style and energy wedding. Hue is chosen to be the quiet and peaceful background to support a heavily joyful day: 21 Aug 2014.

If there is somewhere in the Earth, you can find a non-stop movement, straight line, abstract shapes mixing with floral design and extending forms, this is “Contemporary” world (reference from houzz.com). Quan & Angelique had the same voice, same page at same line on being crystal clear “what-they-want”. And that helps us a lot on starting planning, then jumping into details. Using navy blue & white as massive layer for the day, on top of that will be Glittery Gold who stands for “forever, long lasting and sparkling love”, Angelique has be minded on what guests can perceived when joining into their day, and, well, as you know, that’s perfect! Nothing is better than you know your wedding guests for well.

We have RAIN on that day. People usually assume that “Having rain in a wedding is sign of good luck”. Honestly, not everyone likes it! Feeling of mooding, irritating and humidity is not easy to bare. That led us to a big decision: Moving up the time of ceremony to 2PM, quite early to catch the sunset, but not yet early enough for the rain. Ultimately, it was raining, in the middle of the ceremony. Being highly awared and in the mood of accepting, the stage and off-stage was full, thought water from sky. Umbrellas, sacred steps, smile, hands, hugs, kisses, speech, bless… all’s around for the couple. Who can forget the kiss under the rain?? (even after watching Spiderman ^_^).

Time for relaxing and waiting for dinner reception. The gangs got crazy in pool, while the girls got so many other things to do. Quan’s wearing a glittery vest, while Angelique with a first-ever-before-simple wedding dress. Guests liberally suited in diversified styles. 3 hour gap gave chances for everyone to have an entirely new outlook, coincidently, blew a new breeze to next session of the day.

Dinner reception is kind of sophisticated neutral, monochromatic and tone-on-tone design with U-shape dinning tables, headly covered with Strings of Light-bulps, lighting up the whole night view. The mix btw Glittery, Stripped white & navy, contemporary furniture items: chandeliers, cool frames, woody stock… Everything, match and making one pieces: contemporary look for the party. In that garden, crazy things happened: “katy-peri dance, lip-sing-show, hiphop show, firework first dance, bridal bouquet tossing and so many more…

A night that wouldn’t sleep!

Like a modern life!

For a modern couple!
