I wanted to share a quick post. We said "I do" on Saturday June 8th, after 8 years we are now husband and wife! 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 took photos, but she helped me through the day. She captured everything! I'm excited to see and share her photos. A blessing to have her.

The day was busy and my girls did a great job helping me. Thank you for helping me get dressed, with my makeup, guiding me, and running around for me. Great teamwork girls. They also looked beautiful, thanks to our glam squad Nithda & Nina.

Nithda & Nina did a wonderful job on getting our girls hair and makeup looking beautiful. I especially loved my hair, Thank you girls!

My brother is the world's best brother, he ran errands all day. He took charge of everyone's needs and I get all weepy thinking about the hard work he put into the wedding.

Our Christian ceremony was beautiful, Mark, Pastor Anna, and Vivian did such a great job helping and organizing the ceremony!

Our family and friends who helped with catering and setup. I heard the food was great, sorry I didn't get a bite. The reception looked so beautiful. I was impressed with the lighting, tables, candy table, and head table.

Geoff & Serena gave heart warming speeches. I laughed and wept. Thank you for sharing those words with our guests!

I was so happy to see everyone who came to the wedding. It meant so much to us! Thank you to those who drove a long ways to share our day. Thank you for coming out to share our big day!

Everyone who worked hard and gave a helping hand catering, running errands, guiding us, taking photos, and helping us clean up, thank you.
