Our Wedding
September 8, 2001
Granite Bay, California
Vietnamese Ceremony
Our wonderful day began with
family and friends attending a traditional Vietnamese ceremony at
the bride's parents' home. When you view the following pictures, you
will notice the Vietnamese ladies wearing traditional ao dai
dresses. Once the bride and groom were formally introduced, all
attendees were introduced as well. Finally, a tea ceremony
commenced, and attendees enjoyed a light lunch before heading to the
church for the wedding ceremony.
Wedding
Ceremony
Next, the wedding ceremony took
place at the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection. It was a very hot
day, and the air conditioning wasn't working! As guests persevered,
Father Marvin Bowers proceeded with delivering a very touching and
meaningful ceremony. There weren't many dry eyes in the church that
day!
Reception
Immediately following the
ceremony, the wedding party and guests headed over to the Granite
Bay Golf Club for the reception. Here, the usual activities occurred
- photos were taken, toasts were made, the cake was cut, and of
course - lots of dancing! It was a wonderful end to a magnificent
day.
