Before We Pack Our Bags

We're heading to Vietnam for an intimate wedding, but we couldn't possibly celebrate without all of our favorite people first! We would love for you to join us for a pre-wedding Tea Ceremony and celebration. Please come celebrate this new chapter with food, drinks, and festivities before we pack our bags!

When & Where

The Grey Stone

What Is a Tea Ceremony?

It is a traditional Vietnamese celebration where we honor our ancestors and parents. During the ceremony, we will serve tea to our parents to show our gratitude, receive their blessings for our marriage, and officially unite our two families. It is a beautiful, intimate ritual — and we can't wait to share it with you. You don't need to know any of the traditions yourself; just come ready to watch, cheer us on, and enjoy a delicious meal afterward!

Frequently Asked

Is this your actual wedding?

We will be officially tying the knot in an intimate destination ceremony in Vietnam. We wanted to make sure we could celebrate our new chapter with everyone who holds a special place in our hearts before we travel. There won't be a vow exchange here, but there will be plenty of food, drinks, traditions, and celebrating!
