The beautiful love of Collin Morikawa and his wife

Morikawa and Zhu got engaged in November 2021, and a year later, they exchanged vows and promised to live together. However, the couple met years ago at college. Zhu has been known for being a supportive partner and has always been there for Morikawa during his traveling for the tournaments. We saw her dedication to her marriage in her birthday post, where she wrote, “starting another trip around the sun with a new name.” Her husband, the golfer, hilariously replied, “That’s one long name.”

During their beautiful wedding ceremony, a 10-piece wind and string orchestra played “most beautiful music.” They serenaded the couple and their guests. 100 close friends witnessed the matrimony along with family. And the Mindy Weiss Party Consultants planned the wedding. Zhu walked down the aisle looking elegant to the song “On Top of the World” by Imagine Dragons. The PGA pro chose “Somewhere Only We Know” by Allen & Bright to walk down the aisle.

During the ceremony, the pair exchanged traditional vows in front of the guests before reading private, handwritten vows to one another. While he was wearing a suit from Stitch+Heart, Zhu said on Instagram that her Vera Wang bridal garment was “the hardest secret to keep from him.” The special guest was Koa, their golden doodle at Zhu’s feet and wearing a tux.
