Our Wedding: The Tea Ceremony
It's been nearly a year since this whole wedding shenanigans thing went down and of course, it's one of our favorite weekends to reminisce and look back at photos of. We basically had a two-day wedding because we wanted to incorporate the traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony and doing this on the actual wedding day would've been very stressful and too long of a day. The evening following this, we had a "fancy" 10-course meal at the Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant off of Rainier in Seattle. Mostly this was for my extended family and my parents' elaborate list of friends. It was fun though and it'll explain why you've seen me in multiple outfits because yes, I did have another wedding dress for this as well. Call me a diva. But not really.
Truth be told, the tea ceremony was probably a highlight of the weekend for us. We loved how much joy was in my parents' home- the home I grew up in- was that morning. And I'm really glad we decided to have the tea ceremony. Our gowns (ao dais) were custom made in Vietnam and given to us by some of my dad's closest friends. I sure felt fancy in them :) Enjoy some of these photos, thanks to our dear friend Shelby.
Stay tuned for part 9- photos from our wedding day!
