Their three wedding ceremonies in the coastal province of Cam Ranh, Ho Chi Minh City, and the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap marked them the celebrity couple with the most weddings in Vietnam in 2023.

Their Cam Ranh beach wedding went for simple and elegant style, while their Ho Chi Minh City event had a modern and luxurious style, and their Dong Thap nuptials made use of traditional items in the Mekong Delta like coconut leaves, bamboo, and meticulously woven materials.

Many fellow beauty queens showed up at the event, including Miss Grand International 2021 Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien, Miss World Vietnam 2019 Luong Thuy Linh, and Miss Grand Vietnam 2022 Doan Thien An.

Dancers Vu Ngoc Anh, 33, and Cuong Seven, 34

The dancer couple had their wedding held in Hanoi on July 28.

The ceremony’s venue was decorated in a disco style, with glittering disco balls used as decorative items.

Anh wore a three-in-one wedding dress made by designer Phuong Linh. The highlight of her outfit was an intricately beaded choker chain around her neck and shoulders, styled to drape freely. As she removed the detachable skirt, her dress transformed into a long-tailed gown reminiscent of Tinker Bell. When Anh removed the dress’ tail again, her gown turned into a short and youthful outfit.
