Ceremony reading

So, I am procrastinating studying my anesthesia lectures and I came across a ceremony program from a friends wedding. I saved it because I really liked the reading that they used. Both Quoc and I have christian upbringings but chose not to have our ceremony in the church. Without going into an in depth posting on why we aren't having it in a church or our religious backgrounds; I am just going to say that I would like some religious traditions without being to formal or "preachy."

Anyway, this is the reading that my friend used that I really liked. Whether or not we use it is up in the air, we do have 2 years to decide.

A Typical Vietnamese Wedding in Vietnam

According to Vi:

They had fireworks and a laser show. I feel to maximize wedding day you should do what Uncle 7 did with the church wedding in the morning and a reception at night. Carly then gets three dresses and if you do the whole vietnamese custom of getting the bride she gets 4 dresses! But at the reception at night, the bride and groom are there 2 hours before everyone gets there to take individual pictures, once thats over there is an announcement and the lights go off and theres lasers and music and then the lights come on and the couple walk down the aisle to the stage followed by people with umbrellas and fireworks go off on the side as you walk down. After that the bride changed her dresss and the couple went to every table to toast. What are your plans? Cause if they dont include lasers, fireworks, dancers and a live four piece band, youve been upstaged oh and the 7 course meal.
