This morning I had one of those 'Strange the places...' moments when I found myself at a Vietnamese wedding! And what a fantastically surreal occasion it was too. I was so happy to be invited along to celebrate with the bride and groom (probably not called 'bride' and 'groom') Huyen and Phu.
Many of the standard themes of western weddings were observed.....lots of people, lots of toasts, lots of food and lots of photographs!And some not-so-standard themes, such as the rule that one could never take a photograph with only 3 people in it?!?! Maybe a superstition about future bachelordom or spinsterism?
Anyway here is a photograph of Huyen and Phu, who were All Smiles for the whole day, and myself and Ashton. Yes I am wearing an Ao Dai. I'm practically Hanoian now...SarahHeadsEast xx
