Small intermission after ceremony so bride and groom can change into traditional Vietnamese wedding attire (Ao Dai). Please enjoy this time with some cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. The Tea Ceremony combines the celebration of marriage with honoring the family’s ancestors and relatives. This makes it one of the most compelling and emotional parts of a Vietnamese wedding. It is considered the proper meeting of both families. Bride and groom will serve Green Tea or Chrysanthemum Tea as a sign of respect, starting with the eldest family members. Thereafter, family members will gift the bride and groom with gifts (money, family jewelry, or advice) for a long-lasting marriage. Traditionally, ceremony concludes with the lighting of a big dragon and phoenix candle, symbolizing the fusion of two families.
