Day-of Schedule

We've had several loved ones ask questions about the schedule of events for the day of our wedding. We thought it'd be helpful for everyone if we post the schedule on the blog.

10:00am our families will come together for the Vietnamese Ceremony at my parents' house.

2:30pm Peter and I will be at St. Patrick's Catholic Church to take pictures with guests.

3:30pm is when our Catholic Church Ceremony will begin.

5:30pm cocktail hour begins at Venue Pearl.

6:30pm dinner begins and is catered by Catering by Bo.

10:30pm is the end of reception at Venue Pearl, but please join us for the after party. Location TBD.

The Vietnamese Ceremony is mostly a family affair, but if you'd like to attend, just let us know. What will happen is Pete and my families will be introduced to one another, and Pete and I will offer and pour tea for our elders. Afterwards, there's time to mingle, meet people, and eat lots of food. Pete and I, along with our wedding party, will leave my parents' house right after the Vietnamese Ceremony to take pictures, and we'll see everyone again around 2:30 at St. Patrick's Catholic Church for pictures with guests as they arrive. We'll be standing out there until around 3:10 to give everyone time to be seated, and then 3:30 the ceremony will begin. If you arrive late to mass, please be respectful. Mass, if nothing else, will begin on time, so we would really recommend you arrive early.

One of the things we'd like to try to orchestrate is a few family photos, and we figured after mass would be the best time to pull it off. It'll be four shots: my mom's side, my dad's side, Pete's mom's side, and Pete's dad's side. More on this later, just wanted to get it out there for now.

We'll update again at another time. Don't forget your Head and the Heart concert tickets!

Good night!
