A Coastal California Dream: Kristy and Brian's Laguna Beach Wedding

Love knows no boundaries, and for Kristy and Brian, it bridged the gap between Atlanta and Orange County. On a beautiful Sunday in May , the couple celebrated their union with a stunning Laguna Beach wedding that perfectly blended their backgrounds and love story.

Kristy, a proud USC alumna originally from Garden Grove, and Brian, her Atlanta-based fiancé, chose to tie the knot in the bride's home state. The day began with a picturesque daytime ceremony at Seven 7 Seven in Laguna Beach, where the couple exchanged vows against the backdrop of the sparkling Pacific Ocean.

As the sun began to set, the celebration continued at Paracel Restaurant in Westminster, a nod to Kristy's Vietnamese heritage. The evening reception was a vibrant fusion of cultures, featuring delicious cuisine and heartfelt moments shared with family and friends who had traveled from near and far.

The couple's decision to wed in Orange County was particularly meaningful, as it allowed Kristy's father to be a part of their special day. Their swift planning and thoughtful choices, including working with local Vietnamese vendors, created an event that was both personal and unforgettable.

Kristy and Brian's wedding was a testament to their love, their families, and the beautiful blending of their lives. As they embark on this new chapter together, we wish them a lifetime of happiness and adventures, from the shores of Laguna Beach to the streets of Atlanta and beyond.
