Hi, I'm having a destination Catholic wedding. I would love to incorporate something of the Laotion tradition. My FI's family is americanized so I don't have much information on their traditions. Does anyone know of anything that I could incorporate?

Lao Traditional Wedding -- this one is one of my favorite links because it has pictures and explanations

Hope that helps!!! I was looking at Lao weddings, and photographers that captured the moments you are describing

another option is when you come back you could have the traditional Lao ceremony. It would make the in laws happy! Plus it shouldn't cost too much because you can do it in someone's house etc.

Awesome! I wish there was more information like the PBS site that has information, it is too culturally astounding not to be a mere mention :)
