Let's try this again...

As you know, Tommy and Vy had originally planed to get married in 2020, but due to the pandemic, this was postponed (twice!). They however still held an intimate elopement in 2020 with just their immediate family. They are so excited to finally have their families and friends all together. Third time's a charm right?

Tommy and Vy knew of each other through attending the same church. However, they never really talked, until a summer church camp 11 (!) years ago, Tommy started taking notice of Vy, who later admitted to have developed a mini crush on him then as well. Things didn’t really pick up until the half a year later, when Tommy got Vy’s number (via Facebook messenger lol). Tommy was nearing the end of his freshman year at Oregon State University, and Vy in her senior year of high school, with plans to start Stanford University in the fall. A gazillion texts and a number of dates later, the two made their relationship official on July 23, 2011. It was a huge leap of faith for them, as both were unsure of how, or if, long distance would work. But God made it work. Thanks to the existence of cell phones, computers, and airplanes, Vy and Tommy managed to support each other as they each grew personally and professionally. Five years of long distance finally came to an end when Vy moved back to Portland to start medical school at Oregon Health Science University, where Tommy was also attending dental school. During a trip to Hawaii with some close friends, Tommy popped the question, to which Vy repeatedly yelled out “no!” Thankfully, that’s just what Vy says when she is surprised. She really meant yes. Through almost 10 years of dating, the two’s favorite thing to do together is lounging around in bed with their pompug mix dog, Buddie. They can’t wait to do more of that in the years to come!
