How We Met
June 19-23, 2002 We both went to training camp (rank
3 leader) for our youth group held in the Bay Area. Cuong
flew in with his group from Atlanta and we were placed
in the same group. He remembers a gal in pigtails and
a cute backpack coming to him as he was handing out name
tags. She remembers a tall stranger looking curiously
like someone she knew. Throughout camp they picked on
each other, but Cuong was nice enough to lend a hand when
Truc was washing dishes. Truc in return wiped his hands
clean. On one of the days Cuong sang this cutest song
and Truc emailed him afterwards for more songs. June 24,
2002, the first email was received so this date has much
significance. Emails were sent back and forth, then chatting
and one thing led to another and now we're here =).
The Proposal
 On
our 3 year Anniversary Cuong gave Truc a card enclosed
with a poem he had written. Truc had always given him
a hard time about not ever writing her a poem and always
copying someone else's so it's the sweetest gesture. Later
on in the day Cuong told Truc 'you never answered my question.'
Truc replied 'what question?' Cuong said 'the question
in my card.' So Truc got the card and read again and didn't
see any question. Cuong told Truc to read the first word
in each line of the poem and it was 'will you marry me'
in Vietnamese (Em lấy anh nhé?). Truc responded with a
poem with the last word in each line 'I accept, my love'
(Anh Yêu Em Chịu) The rest is history =)

| Em như nàng tiên dịu
hiền |
You are like the kind gentle fairy |
| Lấy ánh bình minh chiếu
sáng lòng anh |
Taking the sunshine to brighten my
heart |
| Anh muốn cùng em sống trọn
kiếp |
I want to spend eternity with you |
| Nhé em, chân
tình mãi không phai |
Will you? With unfading true love... |

Bringing me so much happiness and
love |
| Anh nói anh muốn sống trọn đời với
em |
You said you want to spend the rest

không chịu |
I'd be crazy not to accept |

Tôi dây có một người yêu
Dáng người thon thả, mỹ miều đẹp xinh
Nàng cười êm dịu hữu tình(duyên dáng)
Để chim quên hót ...để mình(tôi) ngẩn ngơ
Thương nàng tôi..dệt vần thơ
Viết lên nét đẹp ngây thơ của nàng
Mong ngày kia gió xuân sang
Tôi nàng kết tóc, rở ràng mộng say ...!!
Dù cho xa cách anh yêu
Từng đêm em vẫn nhớ nhiều về anh
Làm sao quên mối tình xanh?
Làm sao có thể quên nhanh tình đầu?
Em nhìn mây gió nguyện cầu
Một ngày nắng kết muôn màu yêu thương
Anh về ta kết tơ vương
Em yêu anh mãi, cửu trường bên anh.
