ulia ngo and kevin chung had crossed paths multiple times, but had
never noticed one another until 2012 when they both attended a mutual
friend’s birthday celebration in los angeles, a.k.a “the city of angels.”
The city’s angel moniker resonates with Julia and Kevin as the same mutual friend
that had first brought them together passed away only a year later. “In many ways
it feels like our love that started because of her, still carries her with us everyday,”
notes Julia. Kevin had planned to propose to Julia on Christmas Day in 2013 in front
of their loved ones, but his nerves got the best of him. Instead, he planned a more
intimate surprise with just the two of them. On the 26th of December, he presented
Julia with a series of five gifts, including a vegetable peeler, a snow brush, and a mix
CD, all meant to throw her off the significant surprise that she was soon to receive!
By the fifth gift, Julia was impatient and confused until she turned around and saw
Kevin down on one knee holding a ring, professing all the reasons he loved and
appreciated Julia. He asked her to spend the rest of her life with him and through
her tears, she agreed.
Julia and Kevin were married in a two-day event on May 22 and May 23, 2015. Olivia
Tran from cdl toronto was the lead planner, while Jennifer Tran and Veronica
Ly provided design assistance, same-day coordination, floral, decor and cake design
services for the black and gold wedding inspired by the Jazz Age. empress paper
crafts produced the couple’s stationery.
The invitation was enclosed within a black
canvas-wrapped box, featuring the couple’s
gold custom monogram.
