This charming bride and groom, who have known one another for 10 years, say that they are best friends. They couldn’t wait to finally get married and chose to have a small elopement ceremony with only a few guests before flying out to Vietnam with their entire bridal party to have a big reception. While awaiting their grand celebration, though, these two best friends got to have the best of both worlds with their beautiful and intimate wedding ceremony.
