Vanity & Eli
“If ever two were one, then surely we — choosing each other on this day, and every one after.”
Our Story
A mutual friend invited us both to the same Christmas party. As we'd only learn later, we each left thinking the exact same thing: I could never just walk up to them. So we didn't. We each went back to that friend, separately, and asked about the other. She never gave much away. She simply told each of us, quietly, that we should reach out. So we did.
A year after dating, on January 15th, 2026, Eli insisted Vanity book a mani-pedi (he wanted a pedicure, if we're honest). Then they hiked up a mountain, where Eli produced a single golden rose; an anniversary gift, and a very good distraction. While Vanity admired it, Eli got down on one knee. He says he has never been more sure of anything. They're marrying on that same date, one year on.
We built this day the way we strive to build everything: on purpose, together. Eli wanted to be surrounded by the people who he feels have truly shown up for them. Vanity's happiest memories are of family gathered around a shared meal. So that's the whole plan: We'll marry, then we'll eat, talk, and take pictures late into the evening. No formal dancing, no rush. Just the people we love and a very long dinner.
The Day
No formal dancing, no schedule to race through. Just vows, a shared meal, and good conversation.
What to Wear
We'll be in áo dài. For our guests, we'd love garden-formal attire in our colors; not required. Please do not wear ivory, white, or gold colors.

None planned, but welcome where available! This is an evening for eating, talking, and being together. Come ready to linger till 9 pm.
Please do! Picture-taking is officially part of the program.
