Nhat and Anu’s story is a perfect example of “Don’t stop believin’” Anu was just a small town girl from Mongolia. She had never set foot or even come close to setting foot anywhere close to America. Nhat was a city boy born and raised in SoCal. The closest he ever got to Mongolia was flying through Tokyo on his way to a vacation in Vietnam. But in spite of the distance and differences in the world’s they came from, they found each other searching through a small dating app, late into the night. For Nhat, he fell for Anu by watching how much she loved her niece who had not even been born yet, and by how much she dedicated herself to her family. For Anu, she fell for Nhat by seeing how devout he was in all matters, in how much passion and love he held for his work, life and family. After a year, falling in love from a distance, Anu took the leap and flew to the other side of the world to finally meet in person. The first question the TSA asked her when she came through San Francisco International Airport was “Are you sure he’s not a serial killer?” In spite of that very real possibility, they spent the next year continuing to get to know each other and their families. They overcame challenges and struggles that came with being from the opposite sides of the world, and they fell deeper and deeper in love. On 26 December 2023, with the blessings of Anu’s family and his own, Nhat proposed at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. We can’t wait to celebrate our love with all of you on August 30, 2025!
