Question

What is your Covid-19 Protocol?

Answer

We know that everyone has their own opinions on dealing with the pandemic. We ask that everyone be respectful to each others' decisions. We will provide masks and hand sanitizer at the venue, but masks are not required for all guests to wear. We know this is risky, but we felt this was the best decision for us. We would graciously appreciate it if you are fully-vaccinated and to be mindful that there are variants of Covid-19 that can beat the odds of those vaccinated and those not vaccinated. Both of our families have personally experienced going through Covid-19. We ask that you respect boundaries of our elders as they are at higher risk. If you are sick, we kindly ask you stay home for everyone's benefit. We will have a live-stream if you still would like to join us in our special moments. :) If you RSVP'ed before knowing you are sick and not able to attend, please send us an email that you are not able to attend at laoloveslum@gmail.com. Thank you everyone for understanding.

Is there a shuttle to and from the hotel to the ceremony?

Answer

Unfortunately, the hotels do not provide this service to our wedding venue. Please prepare your own transportation either through services like Uber and Lyft, rental car, or carpooling with other guests. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

Question

Is taking an Uber or Lyft wise to the Wedding Venue?

Answer

Our Wedding Venue is out in the country...it may be more cost efficient to rent a car for the weekend if you're staying in town or to catch a ride with another guest. Contact us if you need assistance! We will try our best!

From Fayetteville/Springdale Willow Brooke Farm is about 20-30 minutes away. From Bentonville/Rogers, Willow Brooke Farm is about 40 minutes-1 hour away. Please plan to allocate some traveling time to our venue.

Question

Where is your Registry?

Answer

We are so blessed for your thoughtfulness and love for us! We're trying to keep it simple on our Registry page to what we thought are simple necessities and a dash of fun. We are registered here on Zola and on Amazon (link on registry tab of our website). We would also like to uphold some of our cultural traditions in place of a normal Registry. Please see the FAQ about Red Envelopes and Prosperity Dance below. :)

Question

What is a "Red Envelope"?

Answer

Red is an auspicious, lucky color in Chinese culture. In place of a regular registry, we would like to preserve the Chinese tradition of the "Red Envelope". Red envelopes with cash or checks are traditionally given to the couple during the reception as gifts. The tradition of the "Red Envelope" dates back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279) in China and offers the newly married couple success, health, and prosperity. Red Envelopes will be provided at the reception if you wish to participate! Please do not feel obligated to participate, especially if you have already contributed to our Savings Funds on our Registry page!

Question

What is a Prosperity Dance?

Answer

A Filipino wedding tradition is for the bride and groom to have a Prosperity Dance where guests may pin or tape red envelopes or money to the bride and groom. This is a tradition to shower the bride and groom in abundance as we start our newlywed life together. Red envelopes, plastic coverings, and tape will be provided at the reception if you would like participate! Please do not feel obligated to participate, especially if you have already contributed to our Savings Funds! If you do choose to participate, please include a note with your name so we know who to thank! Thank you for helping us uphold these various traditions and being part of our big day! Any gift to start our lives together is a huge blessing, but your presence is the best gift of all!

Question

What are some Hmong Wedding traditions?

Answer

The traditional Hmong wedding ceremony is the act of transferring a bride to her groom’s clan. Women are transferred between clans, forging relationships between these clans. During the wedding, both sides of the families decide on a dowry that the groom's family will give the bride's family. This process can take a couple hours to a couple days. After both families come to an agreement and settle all family feuds, there is usually a meal enjoyed by the unified family that the groom's family will provide. After the meal, the bride and groom will leave with a couple items: kawm (Hmong backpack), blanket, umbrella, and a meal packed by the bride's family to eat when the groom is halfway home. These items all have their own representation for a successful marriage. There is much more to a traditional Hmong wedding, but hopefully this gives you a general overview of a Hmong wedding.
