Another stunning afternoon at Mt Vernon, this time with a bit of a twist!
The joining of two cultures - when I met with Mickey and Toby it was clear that their ceremony was to include both their Kiwi and Vietnamese cultures. We had a small tea ceremony to begin, the purpose being for Toby to ask Mickey’s family for her hand in marriage and celebrate the union of their two families while honouring their parents, family, and ancestors.
We then had myself reading the English version of their ceremony and Mickey's friend Huy reading the Vietnamese translation so both families were able to understand and be a part of their day.
Such a special, special day and an absolute pleasure to be able to bring together for this lovely couple.
