Love knows no boundaries, and when it comes to celebrating the union of two souls, Kelly and Douglas took it to a whole new level. In the picturesque setting of Aria in Prospect, Connecticut, this dynamic duo infused culture and tradition into their October wedding, creating a day to remember.

The brand-new chapel on the grounds of Aria set the stage for the couple’s heartfelt vows. Under a beautifully adorned altar, Kelly and Douglas exchanged promises of eternal love, surrounded by the warmth of family and the cheers of friends. The air was filled with love, and the autumn breeze added a touch of magic to the ceremony.

As the vows echoed in the chapel, the celebration continued into the reception, where the couple showcased their commitment to diversity and shared heritage. At each place setting, guests were treated to a sweet surprise – custom Colombian chocolates, a nod to Douglas’s cultural background. The delectable treats added a touch of sweetness to the already joyous atmosphere, symbolizing the merging of two families and traditions.

The vibe didn’t stop there. Kelly, gorgeous in her white wedding gown, later surprised everyone with a stunning transformation. Embracing her Vietnamese heritage, she changed into a custom red gown, an authentic Vietnamese frock. The vibrant hues and intricate details of the gown not only celebrated Kelly’s cultural roots but also added a pop of color to the fall-themed celebration.

The dance floor became a melting pot of traditions as guests enjoyed a fusion of Colombian and Vietnamese music, reflecting the diverse backgrounds that now converged into one beautiful love story. The unity of two cultures was not just witnessed but celebrated with every beat of the music and every step on the dance floor.

Kelly and Douglas’s wedding at Aria Prospect Connecticut was more than just an event; it was a testament to the power of love and the beauty that arises when different cultures come together. As the evening concluded with laughter, dance, and the lingering taste of Colombian chocolates, it marked the beginning of a journey where love knows no borders.
