This weekend was my friend Jennifer’s engagement party which was just like a mini wedding. It included traditional Vietnamese engagement ceremonies and a lovely mini garden reception.
There wasn’t an official memo, but we all seemed to have gotten the message to wear yellow.
Participating in the tea ceremony was fun. Mike and Jennifer served teeny tiny cups of tea to guests two at a time.
Awww, great pictures Sobrina! And seeing the yellow makes me feel so cheery and happy- I've fully morphed into the doldrums-of-fall-and-winter and all of the dark hues that seem to accompany this time of year. Bleh.
hahaha whenever i see alan now, i think of house.
Such a lovely sharing. Thanks Sobrina, the yellow co-ordination was brilliant. I love Jennifer's traditional Vietnamese outfit – what is it called? Very similar to Indian shalwar kameez, but more tight fitting, prettier I think 🙂
And the tea at the end – hilarious!
what a beautiful ceremony that looked like!
What a ceremony! The wedding is just a formality after a shin dig such as that!
On the tea thing, some for now, some for later.
ooooh! You look so lovely in yellow!
What a beautiful ceremony. It looks so cheery and springy, don't you think? 🙂
You attend the most beautifully decorated parties!
What a beautiful couple!
Love the yellow! Yay for Jennifer!
It always makes me nervous when Hubs is in the kitchen…
So great to hang out with you!! 🙂
Such a beautiful party! And fun to be a part of a true traditional ceremony, I bet. You and your friends looked great, too!
