How to Viet Wedding
TEA CEREMONY
This will be the first part of the Wedding Day:
James and his party will be lined up
outside with trays carrying traditional offerings.
Lena’s party will line up as well. After testing James' humor and skills they will receive the offerings. Lena and James will serve tea to family and honored guests. Many people will wear Aó Dài, the traditional Vietnamese outfits. Lunch will be served after!
RECEPTION
There are a few special elements specific to Vietnamese weddings.
Table Greetings: During dinner, Lena and James will visit each table. Typically, one guest at each table would propose a toast, and hand the gift envelopes to the Bride and Groom. If you want, you can create a game or challenge for us to enjoy or to "earn" the gifts!
