This Moody Wedding Combines Cultural & Retro Details Flawlessly

“It was really important for us to include pieces of our Asian heritage into the wedding. I am Vietnamese and Jonathan is Taiwanese. One thing that was very important in both of our cultures is a tea ceremony. The purpose of a wedding tea ceremony is for the groom to ask the bride’s family for her hand in marriage and celebrate the union of the two families while honoring our parents, family and ancestors. It was a very intimate and memorable ceremony that I am so happy we have and can reflect back on.” – Noelle + Jon⁠⁠
