It could not have been a more beautiful day for them. It was on the first day of June, under beautiful blue skies, Khuong & Nhi became husband and wife. Everybody looked gorgeous and being a meticulous person that the bride is, all of her details shined through. Her decision on the wedding theme colors, the outfits, from the traditional Ao Dai to the gown cannot be more perfect. What was even more amazing is how crafty the bride really is-and I mean really. Some of the florals was done by the bride herself and that includes one of her bouquets! Yes, she had TWO bouquets! I was gazing into the florals that she did while processing the pictures and I was wondering how in the world did she find time to accomplish that on top of all the final last minutes items to do. So she did and that didn't take away the energy she still preserved for the special day. Now, some of you might not know this, the Vietnamese wedding preparation for the bridal party really does start literally at the peak of dawn. I'm not exaggerating when I say, ummm 4-5AM! With the ceremony being in the morning, the adrenaline already started kicking by midnight while a million things run through your mind, one of which is the hope that everybody will remember what they're tasked to do. There's really no point of sleeping but forced to rest those eyes while waiting for those few hours to rush by.
TT had a wonderful of pleasure of documenting the most important day of their lives. TT showed up on the groom's side with the videographer by 7am. And that's just the beginning of the day with a 3 hours break before reception which pulled onto midnight or even later depending on how rough the crowd wanted to be (this is true in THIS CASE). The morning ceremony tradition goes as this: The party comes from the groom's side to the bride's side for the ceremony, then escorting the bride back to to groom's house for another short ceremony. In one sentence, the tradition means of the bride's parents giving her away to the acceptance and welcoming of the bride to the groom's family under the blessing of God, ancestors and families of both sides.
Since I was delayed in posting some of these pictures, I will make up for that by putting more than expected!
That was a long intro, so...
without further ado, here are some photos and scroll down at the end for the two slideshows for the morning ceremony and the bridal fun session on their wedding day. The reception part will be coming later...
Remember I said "what a bunch" on my previous post...here's why:
