Our story begins in Destin, Florida, on a warm July night. While standing in line at a bar with friends, Dinh noticed Alex and asked his friend who he was. That simple moment became the beginning of their love story. That same weekend, they spent the Fourth of July together celebrating Dinh’s best friend’s birthday. They clicked quickly, and Dinh was drawn to how gentle and kind Alex was. On their very first date at Baytowne Wharf, Dinh gave Alex a coin to make a wish, a small moment that felt magical and marked the start of something special. The timing, though, was bittersweet because Alex was moving to Colorado the very next month. Saying goodbye was hard, but both of them knew this was not the end. With God guiding them, they decided to take on long distance while Dinh finished college. It was not easy, but they made it work with visits, trips, and countless calls. On Dinh’s very first visit to Colorado, Alex brought her to the Garden of the Gods, where he told her he loved her for the very first time. One year later, during mid-July, he brought her back to that same spot and asked her to marry him. From that night in Destin to a proposal in Colorado, their journey has been full of laughter, faith, and love. And just like the coin wish at Baytowne Wharf, their dream of a forever together is coming true.
