Diemmai & Huy in Houston, TX

A few carefully selected motifs tied the Diemmai and Huy's celebration together: The Chinese character meaning love appeared throughout the wedding, cherry blossoms and orchids (the bride's favorite flowers) were also prominent, and a beautiful color scheme of pink and chocolate brown unified the elements. THE BRIDE Diemmai Nguyen THE GROOM Huy Pham THE DATE March 20 It's supposed to be good luck if it rains on your wedding day -- but rain, it turns out, brought on Diemmai's engagement. The 35-year-old registered nurse was visiting her then-boyfriend, Huy, in Philadelphia for their three-year anniversary. The couple planned to celebrate in New York City, but rain led to a decision to stay in bed a bit later. And they were right there when Huy, 32, a CPA, asked Diemmai to marry him. The couple soon began planning an elaborate celebration in the bride's hometown of Houston.
