Preliminary Wedding Day Schedule
Tuesday, August 7, 2007So trying to pack in 2 tea ceremonies, a civil ceremony, time for photographs and a reception is going to be tough ... but I am of the mindset that if I want something badly enough, I will make it happen! So here's what I came up with. I pity the photographer and videographer that has to stay with us through this hectic day! Come to think of it, I pity me & Tuan. But as the saying goes, "No pain, no gain"!

I think we've tried to accomodate all 3 cultures represented (Chinese, Vietnamese, and Canadian). Once the parents meet I feel that some butting of heads may occur, but I'm going to try to stick to my guns. Any thoughts?
