Chalk one up for fate. Lucy Nguyen from Rogers and Paul Nguyen of Barling hit it off instantly when her sister and his friend set them up on a blind date in Fayetteville. The couple powered through a long-distance relationship with late night phone calls and weekend visits, and it didn’t take them long to figure out it was right. At a graduation party Paul threw for Lucy after finishing pharmacy school at UAMS, he got up to thank everyone for coming, or so she thought. Before she knew what was happening, Paul was on one knee and Lucy was in tears, getting to share the moment with family and friends.
The Inspiration
Lucy and Paul went for romance and glamour on their big day. Bright corals and shimmering gold set the mood for the Nguyen wedding, making it classic and beautiful, just like Lucy dreamed.
The Details
The couple had fun with a photo booth and silly props, as well as offering personalized cocktails: Groom’s Crush and Bride’s Blush. A creative touch was the puzzle piece guestbook that reminded them of the special times they spent putting puzzles together early in their love story. They also added elements of their Vietnamese heritage. Lucy even wore an “áo dài,” a traditional Vietnamese bridal gown, while she and her father danced to a native song.
