Kally's Wedding



Kally and I have been best friends since the 7th grade.  So as you can imagine, her wedding day was extremely important to me.  We felt very special that we were invited to the Tea Ceremony in the morning.  What a beautiful tradition to observe, we didn't understand one word, but understood what was going on!  They present gifts to the bride and family, present tea to their parents, and make their family intentions clear.  Kally wore a custom Ao dai which fit her perfectly that she would wear again at the reception.  After the tea ceremony, we had a short break before the ceremony.  The ceremony was simple elegance.  I was glad my mom and Carmine came in from NY for the wedding, it just wouldn't have been the same without them getting to see Kally walk down the aisle.  We had a break before the ceremony and had time to change into our party clothes!  I had never been to a wedding with 500 people...until now!  Wow, are they loved!  Good thing I love food, it was a 9 course meal! What a wonderful day with unforgettable memories, Congratulations to Kally and Vincent, thank you for letting me be a part of your special day! (side note: still waiting on a few pictures from another camera, mine ran out of battery before the reception ;-(  I'll share more if they're good!)
