At the ceremony we were greeted with traditional offerings of candy, towels, and tea.

Then we had our picture taken with the bride and groom. Here are shots of Scott and Linda in traditional dress.

They were escorted into the hall by musicians.

Time for a picture with the parents. Faye Choi, Chaosarn, Mong Yoon, Linda, Scott, Sandra.

Then while the bride and groom went to rest and change into more comfortable clothing we had remarks by the parents and others.

Scott and Linda returned for their first dance.

And we had lots of food...soup, jellyfish, shrimp, chicken with rice crisps, mushrooms, crab, quail, fish.

Scott and Linda cut the cake and gave a toast and thanked everyone.

There was non-stop dancing from 7:30 til 11 and EVERYBODY danced and had a good time.

 Nephew and nieces Charlie, Joy, and Aya.
