Bride and groom Nicola Powell and Ben Nobbs. Nationality: Australia

Recalling the memorable memories of her wedding in Vietnam, the bride Nicola Powell said: "8 years ago, Ben and I chose Vietnam as our first travel destination together, we always wanted to come back here. Our wedding seemed like the perfect excuse to do that and I chose Ha Long to make my wish come true. We planned and arranged for everyone to feel like a vacation after traveling 7,400km from Australia to Vietnam. The wedding was prepared and decorated to our liking, with the main color tones being navy blue and light pink, combined with soft floral decorations, along with fairy lights to light up the night, and luckily the weather was beautiful for us to capture memorable frames. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations, and I must say, holding a wedding on Bhaya cruise was the best decision I have ever made (apart from the word "yes"). when Ben asked me to marry him).
