HI! I recently got engaged and have finally come down from the magic of it all! It's time to start planing. I am told the biggest thing you need to check off your list first, is the date and location of your wedding. My Fiancé is Vietnamese and I am white. We have decided that we should have a SoCal wedding due to the majority of his family being there. I want to incorporate some Vietnamese traditions, but I am at a loss. His mom wanted us to have a tea ceremony but I don't know how that would be possible if we are traveling? I know food is a BIG deal to my fiancé. I would love for any recommendations on how to mix the two cultures!

    I have been married since 2 years & have chosen Wedniksha as my preferred wedding planners as they are specialized in designing the wedding across several themes & traditions. Mine theme was traditional king style wedding at ancient monuments in Rajasthan with cultural heritage.

    Not sure if this is only done in Mexico (where I'm from) or if this is practiced in other Latinamerican countries or rest of the world, but there's a tradition of having the newlyweds do something called "Baile del billete" which consist of them having relatives taking turns to dance with the groom and bride and each person to dance with them has to pin a bill (money) to their clothes. You can see videos of it on YouTube.
