Courtlin and Truc will be having three weddings in total! The first took place in my backyard under the tangerine trees where my husband acted as “Rev” and paperwork was signed and sealed. Below is a selection from wedding number two, where the presence of family, close friends, music, minister and vows made their union truly official. It was a true East meets West, meets Hawaii event. Courtlin is from the mainland and Truc is from Vietnam. Parents from each respective part of the world were in attendance. The minister and his wife and partner brought both families together in a beautiful Hawaiian ceremony while standing in the Japanese gardens at Foster Botanical Garden. Truc wore a beautiful Vietnamese wedding outfit, the ao dai, and Courtlin, in a touching show of love and cultural acceptance, wore the traditional Vietnamese clothing as well. With just 10 people in attendance, this intimate wedding was so special and so beautiful. My favorite part was when Courtlin lovingly wiped the tears from Truc’s cheeks… The third and final wedding takes place in beautiful Vietnam! I’m ready for it Mr and Mrs Holt!
