As of right now, we are proceeding as planned. We are closely monitoring all current events and will let everyone know if anything changes. The safety of our guests is very important to us, and we will abide by any COVID-19 protocols and safety measures at that time.
Traditional Vietnamese couples hold a Tea Ceremony to give thanks to ancestors and parents of both parties. The groom's family arrives at the bride's house early in the morning, then the groom's representative would ask the bride's parents to accept their gifts and to give their daughter's hand in marriage to the groom. Once accepted, the bride's parents invite the groom's family into their house where the Tea Ceremony would then take place. This is an optional event held on Saturday morning as it is separate from the wedding on Sunday. Contact the bride or groom for any additional questions or regarding attendance.
The 'Family and Friends Get Together' is held at the Truong-Pham Residence in Tupelo, MS. It is optional and equivalent to a rehearsal dinner.
If you love Asian food, then you will not be disappointed as a typical Vietnamese wedding will have a 5-7 course meal. Soup, dumplings, duck, steak, and fried rice are some of the most common dishes. These dishes are brought to the table and are served in a "family" fashion where each person serves themselves. Use the communal spoon and not your own utensils when reaching into the dishes.
