The Tea Ceremony
Chris and Mia’s Ceremony will be held outside on Friday at 11:00 am. Here is a short video explaining the different parts.
If you'd like to participate in the tradition by dressing in Vietnamese clothing, the traditional outfit is called an áo dài (pronounced roughly “ow yai”). They are beautiful, elegant outfits worn by both women and men, and there are also styles available for children.
There is absolutely no pressure to purchase one! Formal, modest Western clothing is also appropriate. If you would like to wear an áo dài, however, it would be a beautiful way to honor the Vietnamese side of the family and the significance of the ceremony.
One place to browse is:
Áo Dài US — Vietnamese Traditional & Wedding Clothing
They have options for women and couples, and many traditional styles are relatively affordable.
Another option is:
Viet Huong Collection USA
They carry áo dài for women, men, and children.
One little tip: if you order online, check the measurements carefully because Vietnamese sizing can run very small.
