Happy Birthday to the love of my life =) Every year that ends I find myself reflecting upon the year’s journey with you. This year proved to be one of the most difficult, but also the most fruitful year in our journey through life together so far. But enough about us, this post is about you! Although this year was excruciatingly challenging, you shined through and are an integral part in what makes Fitzy’s life and my life as amazing as it can be. Your cute quirks, adorable sense of humor, kindness/care towards others (except call of duty), chef skills, and down-for-anything-but-not-really attitude made this year all the more memorable for me. We traveled to our first honeymoon spot together in The Maldives, then onto Singapore, and now we’ve landed in South Korea. You’re getting ready right now for our first full day in where we first got together in South Korea while I’m laying in bed here making this post. Life is good right now, and a large part of it is because I have you with me through every journey. Let’s take over Seoul once again and eat all the good eats. Happy Birthday my love, I love you so much and I’m so lucky to have you by my side. ❤️ 📸: @munkoali #Honeymoon #VVAlantines #RitzCarlton #maldives #travel #maldivesislands #visitmaldives #beach #maldivesresorts #travelphotography #travelgram #ocean #maldiveslovers #paradise #sea #vacation #sunset #love #maldivesisland #beautifulmaldives #photography #maldivestrip #indianocean #Fariislands #travelblogger #maldivesbeach #islandlife #maldivesparadise #beachlife (at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmxmP83pXUo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another year, another VVAlantines day =) Although you’re my Valentines every day, today’s the specific day you’re my VVAlantines =) Or should it be the other way around….idk! Anyways… These pictures prove that you can convince me to wear matching swimwear with you. Luckily for me, I don’t have to convince you to do anything because you’re always down for anything =) I love how we can look back at these amazing memories and reminisce about our honeymoon. I know I haven’t officially asked you but let me just ask you now, will you be my VVAlantines? @vvtruong_ 📸: @munkoali 💯 #Valentines #ValentinesDay #Honeymoon #VVAlantines #RitzCarlton #maldives #travel #maldivesislands #visitmaldives #beach #maldivesresorts #travelphotography #ocean #maldiveslovers #paradise #sea #vacation #sunset #love #maldivesisland #beautifulmaldives #photography #maldivestrip #indianocean #Fariislands #travelblogger #maldivesbeach #islandlife #maldivesparadise #beachlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqZ8hSJCSM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 9 Years to Us! =) Time has passed. We have so many good memories in the years we’ve been together. Not to mention we’ve known each other for the past 11 years! Every AdVVenture with you has been full of laughs and good eats. From South Korea, London, France, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Vietnam, Canada, Maldives, Singapore and all around the United States — I can sit here happily and be content with the amount of things we’ve done together. However, knowing us content is not where we intend to be lol and I know we’re going to continue exploring, eating, and venturing out to new unexplored territories and conquer what it means in our way to lead a fruitful life together. You’ve been so good to me in the last 9 years in your own quirky way and you do things without saying. There are so many reasons why I love you and that’s for me to know and for others to not find out. Happy Anniversary/Dating-versary My Love! 📸: @munkoali #Anniversary #VVAlantines #9Years #dating (at The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn0sKjnM3dW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Arrival into Maldives! We flew from the states and stopped in Singapore. Landed for a night and spent a quick few hours with Dona and Nina (thank you for the Din Tai Fung!!!). Then the next morning flew into the Velana International Airport (MLE) of Malé. From there, we went through customs & picked up our checked in luggages (which was super smooth and quick btw). We stepped outside and had a bit of trouble finding our hotel pick-up person, but we finally found him holding up a “Ritz-Carlton” sign! Our transfer boat came and we then took off to the Fari Islands! If you’ve gotten this far into reading my caption you probably just now realized that flying into The Maldives also requires you to take a boat to go to the resort that you made reservations for (which is an added cost). The boat ride was about 45 minutes long and it was a very smooth ride. We were kicking it with another couple and our conversation made the time go by very fast! All in all, the travel FROM Houston, Texas to The Maldives, Fari Islands was very smooth with no hiccups. Thank goodness!!! Next, I’ll lay out our villa/bungalow!!! #Honeymoon #VVAlantines #RitzCarlton #maldives #travel #maldivesislands #visitmaldives #beach #maldivesresorts #travelphotography #travelgram #ocean #maldiveslovers #paradise #sea #vacation #sunset #love #maldivesisland #beautifulmaldives #photography #maldivestrip #indianocean #Fariislands #travelblogger #maldivesbeach #islandlife #maldivesparadise #beachlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CmcSAK6hAJZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Truong-Honeymoon commences! We had a few stops before ultimately getting to The Maldives! We’re staying at The Ritz-Carlton here at The Maldives, Fari Islands. This is the newest Maldivian resort (as it opened to the public in June 2021). There were many other choices but we ultimately decided to go with this one as it’s the newest with the latest and greatest villas =) 
On our trip here, we were able to stop into the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge (thank goodness for my Star Alliance Gold membership lol) - at the Changi Singapore International Airport. I love this lounge! They had amazing food there! One of my favorites, Laksa was served there as well <3 I had about 3 bowls of Laksa while @vvtruong_ enjoyed their Congee =) It’s just day 1, we took this day to ourselves and really relaxed and explored this Villa that we’re taking residence in (can’t wait to show y’all). Just ecstatic that the trip of our lifetime is here! I love you honey, Happy Honeymoon!!!! #Honeymoon #VVAlantines #RitzCarlton #maldives #travel #maldivesislands #visitmaldives #beach #maldivesresorts #travelphotography #travelgram #ocean #maldiveslovers #paradise #sea #vacation #sunset #love #maldivesisland #beautifulmaldives #photography #maldivestrip #indianocean #Fariislands #travelblogger #maldivesbeach #islandlife #maldivesparadise #beachlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CmZt6DqhchS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Magazine cover 😎 Dear Younger Me, 2 years ago in the midst of COVID prior to any vaccines, you made a leap of faith and made a decision that would change your life forever. You created a crazy game that would reel your closest friends and family in and get everyone together for a once in a lifetime event and dude, you killed it! It wouldn’t have been what it was without your loved ones of course, well wait, OUR LOVED ONES, because there were so many that flew in just to see this proposal happen! Little did you know, 2 years later, you would have the craziest wedding that you would’ve ever imagined with lots of twists and turns. Take it from me, having gone through that very wedding, you will come out of it so freaking happy with the results of the wedding and the lifelong memories from it! They’re all documented too! Whatever road you cross - continue to cross it because your forever vvalantines always has your back as you do her….oh and you won’t get this kind of magazine cover photo if you don’t go through with it… Freakin enjoy every moment dude, because the proposal and the wedding itself will flash right before your eyes!

#JustMarried As we drove back from our wedding weekend, we had a looooooot of time to talk about what we thought about the wedding. The good, the mistakes, the greatness. Thankfully there was so much good that came out of the wedding, but I’ll speak more on that later. Regardless, we’re home, opening up all of our Registry gifts and reading alllll of the envelopes and messages that people wrote in our guestbook. We can’t thank our family and close friends enough. We got a few honks on the road due to our #VVAlantines hashtag on the back of the car haha Man what times, life is amazing. #married #love #wedding #marriage #bride #couple #couplegoals #marriedlife #life #wife #couples #happy #photography #husband #family #weddinginspiration #groom #engaged #beautiful #husbandandwife #relationshipgoals (at Towne Lake by Caldwell Communities) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgb_UNqAJSF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
