Lovely wedding photos taken in France by Phan Hien and Khanh Thi

On December 22, Khanh Thi and Phan Hien's wedding will take place with the blessings of relatives, friends and fans. Before the big day, the couple released the first official wedding photos as a happy announcement to everyone.

As famous dancesport champions, Khanh Thi and Phan Hien breathed life into their wedding photos in their own unique style. The photos seem to recreate the couple's story: meeting on the street, getting to know each other; two hearts beating as one; dancing to connect souls and having a romantic dinner with intimate feelings.

The photo series was taken in France - where Khanh Thi studied and laid the first bricks for her dancesport career. She wanted to bring her husband to the land of his youth so that he could touch, understand and live with a part of his wife's beautiful memories.

Khanh Thi compared her love story to a movie, even lacking many details: "Because when put on film, people limit many details, for me it's better than movies, the situations in the movie I will almost never see."

Recalling the low points, the male dancesport champion sadly recalled: “That was the time when Khanh Thi and I broke up (late 2014, early 2015), and we had to ask our families for permission to get back together. At that time, both families forbade us from seeing each other, so we had to do it secretly. We had to go far from home to play, and we couldn’t go near home.

When both of us asked for permission to get back together, both sides almost did not agree because of the age gap. Then, Thi's mother made a condition that we could still date each other but not make it public. Thi's mother was also worried about whether she would be able to have another baby because her mother wanted grandchildren.

I was younger and pursued her, so my mother didn't like it. She even sent someone to follow us. We had to be very careful wherever we went. We had to go when our family was resting, so we couldn't freely date.

Both Khanh Thi and Phan Hien almost burst into tears when they saw each other in their wedding dresses for the first time. Khanh Thi confided: “There are almost no words to describe it. Our 13 years together are like a love movie with all the nuances of life.”

Phan Hien was moved again: “I often use the word “gorgeous”, which can be the most accurate description. Normally, my wife is already beautiful, so complimenting her beauty is redundant. I don’t know what word to use, I can only say she is so gorgeous.”

Phan Hien confided: “Family love is much greater than any other feeling. New couples will think more about each other because they do not understand that they have a big family behind them, parents and children. That is a noble love, much greater. If we only think about ourselves, I feel a bit selfish.

For newlyweds, getting married is like any other normal couple. We are a special case, having a child and having known each other for a long time. Although the wedding is just a formality, the core of us is that we cannot live without each other.

During the time we secretly broke up for about 5-6 months, I felt I couldn't live without her and vice versa. Even though we had big conflicts that couldn't be resolved, we still felt we couldn't live without each other."
