Travelled down to Bris Vegas to capture Angela & Anthony’s Vu Quy Ceremony- wedding to follow soon. Such a warm welcome I was given - it was a great morning. A quick rundown of what is involved:
1. Anthony’s family forms a procession down the street carrying gift trays with Angela’s family welcoming them in front of the house.
2. Anthony’s Dad asks permission to enter and are welcomed - enter and ceremony commences in front of the Ancestor Shrine.
3. Ant’s family offer the gifts(fruit, cake, tea, wine jewellry & roast pig) and ask permission to bring bride into their family.
4. Gifts opened and accepted before Angela then enters. There is a Prayer and Song for blessing from God and Ancestors.
5. Angela receives jewellry before the wine is offered (from the Tea Pot) to both sides of the family with an exchange of presents and toasts.
6. All enjoy a lunch with some impromptu music.
Thanks so much for inviting me down - fabulous to capture and a pleasure to witness.
