Here are my favorite things this past week: Favorite summer look: Favorite bed spread: Favorite summer hairstyle: Favorite ecard: photos from pintrest

Friends of the family and older women help me get dressed in traditional Laos wedding attire. The ceremony began with the parade of the groom. His family sang and cheered as he entered our home. The youngest girl of the bride's family sprinkles water over the groom's feet. And the groom is welcomed by the Bride's family.   Our first sight ceremony began with prayers Our parents tie strings that are blessed and give us blessings. The preacher (ma pon- sitting behind us) has us feed eachother boiled egg that represents having eachother come together as one.   Our Laos wedding photo   Our reception was held at the Salisbury depot/historic train station In this collage: we are greeting our guests and getting well wishes (toasting with hennesey), our table décor/centerpieces, the groom's best man gives his speech, we got a warm welcome to the train station, maid of honor gives her speech, we wore our traditional Laos attir...

I wasn't able to take any photos with my phone the day of, but our family and friends shared photos of our day. Thank you all for sharing those. Here is a glimpse of our special day, more photos will be posted later. The best memories of our day was: It rained the whole week of our wedding week, we thought it would be raining on our day. It rained the morning of, but was sunny when our traditional Laos ceremony began. It's good luck when it rains on your day. I'm glad the sun came out and Hurricane Andrea gaves us a break from the rain. The Laos ceremony was beautiful. The older women helped me get dressed in traditional wedding dress.  My uncle led the wedding, we got laughter, cheers, and tears from him and the guests. Our photographer (Aunt Nyvanhn) did an amazing job! She not only too...
