We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for such an amazing and over the top intimate wedding you created within the walls of our home here in Carmel Valley this past Sunday. Mary’s mom flew Y Lan and her entourage up from southern California to perform at the reception.įor their Honeymoon, Mary and Paul went to: Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Malta. Their guests were treated to a 10-course dinner, open bar, and entertainment by Mary’s favorite famous Vietnamese singer, Y Lan. The wedding reception in the evening was held at the Asian Pearl restaurant. They had a tea ceremony and then had a wedding lunch. The ceremony was held in the Capitol Room, which overlooked the California State Capitol. It is customary for the groom’s side to then bring the bride back to the groom’s house, but since his house was far away, they brought the ceremony to the Hyatt Regency in Sacramento, and that represented the groom’s house. Over 100 of their “closest” family members, on both her side and Paul’s side, came to her house for the ceremony. His side of the family lined up in a procession in front of her house before coming in, and then presented red trays of gifts that contained jewelry for the bride and wine, tea, fruits, and cookies for her family. They had a traditional Vietnamese ceremony in the morning, where the groom’s side of the family comes to the bride’s house. Their wedding was on Decemin Sacramento, California. He didn’t propose at dinner though, so then she forgot about it. When she showed it to him he said, “That’s not a ring!” He said it a few more times, and that’s when she got a tiny bit suspicious. She had gotten herself a fun costume jewelry ring from the Chanel boutique as a souvenir of their trip, while shopping earlier that day. She didn’t really suspect anything until the day he was going to propose. They had a long distance relationship until he graduated from residency and moved back to California.įor their one-year anniversary of dating, Paul took Mary to Hawaii. They didn’t start dating until four years later, when he was in his final year of anesthesia residency in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and she had already moved back to California. They did not date at the time, but kept in touch throughout the years. Mary and Paul met through a mutual friend when they were both living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for school.
They both love to travel, experience different cultures, and try new foods. For their chosen professions, Paul is an Anesthesiologist and Mary is a Clinical Pharmacist. Paul & Mary Luu reside in Sacramento, California. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh “The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence.
