Wedding of Bill & Tracy



I returned to America to attend the wedding of my childhood friends, Bill & Tracy.


REHEARSAL


Groom in short sleeves, Bride in shorts & sandals



GAINING ENTRANCE


Bill has come to take his bride, assisted by his minions of the day


Strutting torwards to the gate, nothing can stop him except...


The bride's maids spot the approaching groom


Bill makes tributes to earn passage


Eric solves the riddles of the maids amongst an outcry



BRIDE'S HOME


Posing for wedding shots in the bride's very crowded home


Small chit chat


Food remain untouched on this busy day



GROOM'S HOME


Bill's grandfather light up incense


...and pray to ancestors of before


The couple seek blessings from those ancestors


..while Bill's nephew looks on


Ken, Luong & I enjoying lunch outside



CHURCH


The main event


Cindy waiting for the wedding to begin


Luong, Sinh, and Ken


Bride maids


Groom and groomsmen


Little kids


...walking down the aisle


The Bride, and the Father of the Bride


The crowds all hushed


...and all attention to the center of the room


The priest explaining marriage


With a slip into the finger


...and a union is forged between Bill and Tracy


They head out the room


...only to return later to take pictures


Tracy and her sisters


...and also some other close friends


Bill with his Berkeley buddies


The bride side


The groom side



RIDE


On their white carriage


...they leave the church, just married



REST


At their new home


...more photos with her sisters



BANQUET


The wedding cake


Guests are photographed with the bride & groom by professionals


...and greeted by Bill's mom and grandparents


Eric and Sarah at reception


Sinh and May


Tracy returns to the banquet with yet another attire


Amidst the clanging of chopsticks, the couples kiss


...another dress


...no comment for this game


A Toast!



DANCING


Everyone enjoying the good time


A strange dance


Even the kiddies are dancing



JOHN'S DRUNK


Nothing really to do with the wedding but...


John is really drunk, and somehow convinced me to inhale helium from the balloon


...and reacting upon my high pitched voice


John starts making a "B"


...and the others follow to make an "I", "L" and a "L" to spell the groom



HOME


Finally, back home, after a tiredsome day
