Initially planning a cruise wedding ceremony in the northern coastal Ha Long city on Nov. 11, the couple had almost completed the preparations.

However, they have decided to postpone it until after Oanh gives birth, as the actress’ twin pregnancy has been making her ill. They also hope their twins can appear in the ceremony, adding more meaning to the event.

Currently in her third month of pregnancy, Oanh said she stayed at home most of the time over the past month, as her morning sickness made her feel unwell to the point she could not even leave her bed sometimes.

According to Oanh, the couple’s relatives and friends supported their decision. Everyone agreed that Oanh’s health should be prioritized, for which she was grateful.

Oanh, 34, is a renowned actress and has starred in several TV series. In 2018, she was nominated for the Vietnamese Golden Kite Award for Best Actress.

Binh, 43, is the founder of Nexttech Group of Technopreneurs dubbed the "Alibaba of Vietnam" by the Chinese media. He joined Shark Tank Vietnam as one of the showcased investors in 2019.

The couple registered their marriage in June this year before holding their engagement ceremony in July, followed by a honeymoon in the U.S.

The actress announced her pregnancy last month.
