| Uyen's and Travis' Wedding 2001 On August 18, 2001, my friend Uyen (a.k.a. Christine) got married. I've known Uyen since 1981, from the time her family first came to the U.S. from Vietnam. It has been a blessing to be her friend for so long, and it was wonderful to be invited to share this special day with her and her groom, Travis. They had a basic Vietnamese ceremony in the morning, with exquisite clothes ordered from Vietnam. They had a traditional American wedding in the afternoon and a reception in the evening. It was a beautiful series of events.

Uyen wore red and Travis wore blue for the Vietnamese ceremony. These colors are traditional, and they were even more vivid than this picture indicates. I am on the left.
Uyen's parents and Travis' mother introduced family and friends at the Vietnamese ceremony, as part of the tradition. On the right, Uyen's parents introduce their son, Thien. |

With all the photographers around, members of the bridal party were posing for lots of pictures! Here, the six bridesmaids (all in yellow) joined the bride and groom for a photo. | ||

This photo (at left) is probably my favorite shot of the whole event. Uyen and Travis looking happy in the receiving line after the American ceremony.
And, at right, the beautiful cake to top off a beautiful day. |

Update on Uyen and Travis: As of spring 2006, Uyen and Travis have two little boys! Connor was born in April of 2004, and Colin was born in October of 2005. They are darling! It's great to keep up with their growth via photos.
