The shortest marriage in Vietnamese showbiz.

Getting married after only two weeks of knowing each other and separating after just two weeks of living together, this is considered the shortest marriage in Vietnamese showbiz.

Nguyen Cao Thu Van won the title of "Most Photogenic" at the Miss World Vietnamese 2007 pageant and numerous beauty awards within the Vietnamese community abroad. Her husband for about two weeks at the time was Dr. Doan Dinh Son (24 years older than her) - the brother of Mrs. Kim Hong.

Explaining the whirlwind wedding, the beauty queen shared that it was time for her to start a family, and at that time her grandmother was seriously ill and nearing death. The wedding was quite lavish, held at a 5-star hotel in Ho Chi Minh City.
