Ceremony: Vietnamese Alliance Church
Venue: Kim Son Ballroom
On the eve of the eve of New Year, we celebrated with Kim Anh and Scott as they exchanged vows they wrote for each other. I have to admit that when we asked for an itinerary of the wedding day, they really gave us an itinerary - broken down by minutes. Everyone followed it to the "t." If you are familiar with asian weddings, guests typically arrive 2 hours after the stated time on the invitation, but Kim Anh and Scott had it down to a science. The ceremony, reception, and even the time we left (yes, they even put on the itinerary, the exact time we were supposed to leave!) were either on time or early! At the reception the bride's brother dedicated and sang/strummed a song just for them. Later a hilarious dramatization of the proposal were acted out by two of the groomsmen followed by a game of "how well do you know each other." My favorite part of the reception was when the bride and groom greeted the guests at the table. Apparently, it is a Chinese tradition for half the table to stand behind half of the seated guests at the table along with the couple for a table picture. What a great way to keep a record of all the guests who attended and sharing the picture of the wedding day later with their guests! Congratulations Scott and Kim Anh. I'm sure you guys are having a marvelous time on the cruise!
