Binh and I knew each other since we were little because both our families went to the same church. We didn't really become friends until I started going to Viet school every Saturday during middle school. I never paid much attention to Binh because he was younger than me and we both had the same last name. haha Apparently, Binh had a crush on me for 5 years and was always trying to give me hints by tapping me with his school flag whenever we were lined up. Long story short, he never gave up and eventually I realized what a great guy he was. Almost 11 years later, here we are! (:
I honestly thought it was never going to happen. After being together for over 10 years and we started planning the wedding before getting engaged, it was a given that it was going to happen. haha I was hoping it was going to happen before we left to Vietnam, but came the day and still nothing. We were riding in the car with Chia and Vinue and with my family behind us. Vinue told us he needed to pick up some car parts from his cousin before we could leave to SF. I didn't think much of it and just continued talking to everyone. As he kept driving, I think to myself "dang this guy is really driving up to Friant right now, his cousin lives hella far." Then he said he had to pull over because he needed to check if he had all his camera batteries for the trip. Mind you Ryan and Trang were following us from behind, so I just kept thinking "Damn Vinue is being hella extra." :D Little did I know, Vinue was just a really good liar and I had no clue what was about to happen. Binh told me to get out the car and then he popped the question. It was such a special moment that we have waited so long for and with all the most important people in our lives present. Fresno was where it all begun and also where our new journey was going to start. (:
