We were invited to a very purple wedding last night and got some great purple pictures to share. Nikki (I know her as Thao, her Vietnamese name) is a friend from high school. Coincidentally, Vinh and Nikki’s first date was Jenni and my wedding, so it was fun knowing that our beginning was someone else’s beginning as well.
The wedding ceremony was outdoors near a gold course. It was small and short. The reception was held at the Nines hotel in downtown Portland and we traveled via MAX light rail. The decorations were beautifully colored with light. The wedding party had a great sense of humor and entertained the guests well. The best surprise was the father and bride dance, which started out traditionally as a slow dance, then transformed into a high-energy 50’s boogie.
We had a great time celebrating their beginning and wish them all the best in the years to come.
