Karen and Kelvin have known each other for 15 years, so everyone has been waiting for them to finally get married! The global pandemic meant a few extra delays and hurdles along the way, but now their wedding day has come! Their “first look” with each other was an emotional culmination of all that they have gone through together.
Their wedding had a beautiful mix of Vietnamese and Chinese cultural traditions including some amusing door games for Kelvin to prove his love for Karen, an exchange of family gifts, an emotional tea ceremony, and a lion dance. The lion playfully made its way around the whole reception hall spreading prosperity and good fortune. Kelvin’s sisters’ joint speech was a fun creative parody of Bruno Mars’ Count On Me song. At the end of the night, the dance floor was packed with family and friends having a great time enjoying the celebration.
It’s been such a joy to journey through so many life stages with you both, from your surprise wedding proposal, to your engagement session, and now to your wedding! Congratulations, Karen and Kelvin!
