Dr. Natasha Bhuyan and Dr. Patrick W. Vinck were married Feb. 16 at the Hyatt Regency Resort & Spa at Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale, Ariz. John V. Welsh, who became a Universal Life minister for the occasion and is the maternal uncle of the groom, officiated incorporating Christian elements. Earlier in the day Sri Kiran Rao, a Hindu priest, led a Hindu ceremony.
The bride and groom, both 33, met at the University of Arizona, from which they each graduated magna cum laude. They received their medical degrees from the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson. Both are family physicians.
The bride is the regional medical director of emerging markets at One Medical in Phoenix, a primary care group with 80 offices nationwide that does both office and virtual visits. She is responsible for the Phoenix, Los Angeles, Seattle and San Diego areas. She is also on the faculty at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix, where she teaches medical students at a clinic for homeless patients. She is on the board of Planned Parenthood Federation of America in New York.
She is a daughter of Sewali Bhuyan and Karuna N. Bhuyan of Phoenix. Her father retired as the supervisor of a team focusing on pest control and detection at the Department of Agriculture in Phoenix, and is now an agricultural consultant focusing on insects and disease.
The groom is the Arizona medical director of PopHealthCare in Tempe, Ariz., an in-home care provider based in Nashville for medically complex patients. He is also a founder of AmniCam, a business in Phoenix offering three-dimensional measurement aids for labor monitoring.
He is a son of Jaime W. Vinck and William C. Vinck of Tucson. The groom’s mother is the chief executive at Sierra Tucson, a residential treatment center for substance use disorder and mental health in Tucson. His father is a managing director traveling domestically and abroad to work on transactions at Chapman Associates, a middle market mergers and acquisitions firm based in Schaumburg, Ill.
The couple met in August 2005 at an orientation for new resident assistants at college. They became friends, and in February had their first date only after he texted several clues to her, including an acrostic puzzle, which finally led her to the rooftop of a new chemistry building where he awaited her with Brie and sparkling cider.
