Minneapolis, MN
Sunny and Eric’s story began quietly, with a first date spent wandering a bookstore together. That same sense of intimacy and intention carried through to their wedding day at Aria, where soaring Gothic architecture set a dramatic and romantic tone.
Sunny leaned fully into the atmosphere, wearing a black wedding dress that felt both elegant and unmistakably her. Halloween is her favorite holiday, and the choice felt like a natural extension of her personality. Before the ceremony, they exchanged personal letters, grounding the day in words meant only for each other. The celebration moved effortlessly between shadow and softness, tradition and self-expression. During the reception, they honored Sunny’s Hmong heritage with a string blessing, inviting guests to tie white strings around their wrists and offer words of care, hope, and protection for the life they are building together.
Later, Sunny and Eric changed into traditional Hmong clothing, rooting the day in family, culture, and continuity. The celebration felt layered and deeply personal, shaped by love, history, and the freedom to honor every part of who they are.
