The latest episode of the VTV program Vo chong son (Newlyweds) featured the love story of Pham Minh Phuc, 29, who runs an auto parts business, and Doan Hua Thuc Dinh, 27, who works in business and content creation.

The couple were introduced by their parents, who had become close friends through a shared social circle.

Thuc Dinh had traveled several times with Minh Phuc's parents, but had never met him because he was living in the US. They only met after Phuc returned to Vietnam.

At their first meeting, Minh Phuc was impressed by Thuc Dinh's beauty, while she found his conversation dull and did not pay him much attention.

Phuc asked for her phone number and social media accounts, but she refused to give them to him. He also invited her out for coffee, only to be turned down. Nevertheless, during their very first meeting, he confessed his feelings: “Will you be my girlfriend?”

Taken aback, Thuc Dinh replied, “Are you crazy?” and rejected him.

For seven consecutive days afterward, Minh Phuc confessed his feelings to her every day. It was only on his 14th attempt that he finally won her over.

“Actually, I wasn't that interested in him at first, but I thought he was kind and persistent, so I agreed to date him and get to know him better afterward. I agreed largely because I was fond of his parents,” Thuc Dinh shared.

Over time, Minh Phuc's kindness won her heart. He loved and pampered her, paying attention to even the smallest details.

Thuc Dinh's mother also grew very fond of Minh Phuc. Her mother's support gave her greater confidence in the relationship.

“One time, our two families went out for a meal together, and we wanted to tell them that we were getting to know each other. To our surprise, he asked me to marry him right there. We had only been dating for 20 days,” Thuc Dinh recalled.

Caught off guard, she became upset and rejected her boyfriend's marriage proposal. She wanted to enjoy her freedom and was not yet ready to settle down.

Seeing her reaction, Minh Phuc promised: “I guarantee that even after we get married, we'll still have fun.” His response gradually won her over.

Two months later, Minh Phuc proposed to her in Japan. Exactly 10 months after they first met, the couple got married.

“I wanted my wedding to be the biggest and most spectacular possible. I wanted to feel like a princess, wearing five wedding dresses and hiring 36 photographers.

“We took seven sets of wedding photos and brought along a crew of nearly 20 people for the shoots. We invited 700 guests to the wedding, even though we had already cut the guest list considerably. Around 600 of them were guests invited by our parents. The wedding cost nine figures in Vietnamese dong,” Thuc Dinh said, describing the lavish celebration.

During the wedding, Minh Phuc was so overcome with emotion that he burst into tears. Through his tears, he expressed his overwhelming happiness at marrying the woman he loved.

After starting their life together, the couple discovered some differences in their habits and personalities. Minh Phuc said his wife liked everything neat and tidy but sometimes raised her voice and frequently asked him to do things for her. He hoped she would become less short-tempered so that he would feel less intimidated and hurt.

Minh Phuc's shortcomings included being somewhat messy, easily distracted, and lacking thoughtfulness. Thuc Dinh hoped he would spend less time on his phone and more time playing with their child.

Despite each other's flaws, the couple continue to cherish their marriage and the fact that they are part of each other's lives.
