Mai and Marvin are a couple full of life, always laughing and enjoying each other’s company. Marvin and Mai met in high school at a group outing set up by mutual friends. Over time, they grew closer and decided to make it official before graduating.

In the 15 years since then, they have traveled the world together, indulging in their foodie tendencies, and purchased a home in Maryland. Even though they always knew they wanted to spend their lives together, Marvin still surprised Mai and popped the question last August while vacationing in the Virgin Islands.

At Chic Wedding & Events, we had the pleasure of working with Mai and Marvin to create a stunning wedding celebration that was filled with color and elegance.

Their wedding day was a reflection of their fun-loving personalities and the love they share. The burgundy and gold color scheme was present in everything from the flowers to the table settings.

To honor Mai's half heritage, Vietnamese, the couple had an outfit change. Mai wore the traditional Vietnamese dress, Ao Dai, while Marvin wore a matching traditional Vietnamese outfit. This outfit change's significance was paying homage to Mai's Vietnamese heritage.
