Cultural weddings or two ceremonies...anyone?

Please do share!  I'd love to see them!

I'm doing something similar to Charmeng...We're both Chinese and his parents grew up in Vietnam, so we will be doing the traditional pick up and tea ceremony, which will take most of late morning to mid-afternoon.  We will have a Chinese reception afterwards as well...SOOOO, we have NO TIME to do the traditional western ceremony and we will be doing a vow renewal after the Chinese wedding...we're planning to do it Mexico with friends...hopefully it'll all work out =)

 Ghana - I'm excited to see your pictures and read about your experiences too =)  please post ASAP =)

I'm same as all those other Chinese ladies out there (Charmeng, j8chan02).  I had my heart set on a western ceremony because since we are both ABC (American born Chinese), I feel like it encompasses us more.  Our parents, ever the traditional Chinese family, were pretty miffed about that, but I wouldn't budge.

We're still having the Chinese tea ceremony which will either take place the day of the wedding or a couple of days before on Friday.  And THEN the Wednesday after our wedding, we're going to fly straight to Toronto, Canada, and have a Chinese banquet on Friday.  Pretty hectic. :(

Ooh!  Pris - love the new photo!
