Story
Finding Love in a Hopeless Place
Our story began in December 2008. We were both in our early 20's - when every weekend was spent out in a social setting and hanging with friends. It would only seem fitting we met at a night club the night of Anh's birthday celebration. We found a place to chat and connected over our love for the same car. Months later, our love for cars turned into our love for each other. Months turned to more months, and years to more years. 9 years later and here we are!! With our dog in tow, buying our first home and settling in Seattle, we are beyond ecstatic to celebrate our love for each other with our closest friends and family.
Who knew you could find love in the club?! (cue Usher)
Tidbits

See our story.
Who made the first move? How?
Eric made the first move with his smooth talking π
Who's going to take out the trash?

What was your most memorable date?
Our first date was our most memorable. We had plans to watch Seven Pounds at the movie theater, unfortunately the ice storm had different plans and caused a power outage at the theater. We ended the date less than an hour into it.
What's your favorite activity together?
We looooove to travel to sunshine, relaxation and good food.
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
To SouthEast Asia (Vietnam and Thailand) for sunshine, relaxation and good food. π€
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
We flew to San Diego to look at a few cars we found on craiglist - with the intent to drive back home in one of the cars. We crashed with our friend Manny, who sent us to Oscar's for amazing shrimp tacos, did a phone interview in the parking lot (the phone interview that took us to Seattle!), and eventually bought a car. Finally on the drive home to Portland, we made it past Sacramento and our tire blew. Late in the evening with no spare tire, a bad road side assistance situation, and tire shop not open to replace our tire, we spent the night in a McDonald's parking lot til the tire shop opened in the morning. Adventures beyond unpleasant... we finally made it on the road back home to Portland.

Eric's name for Linh: B
Linh's name for Eric: Boo-ski π» πΏ
