After the tea ceremony, my family served lunch. It served as the first family meal! We served Mr Hot Wings’ favorite, easy-to-eat Vietnamese foods: Banh Mi sandwiches and Vietnamese spring rolls. To drink we had soda, water, and Vietnamese coffee (YUM!).

For dessert, we offered “wedding” fortune cookies and homemade Vietnamese gelatin desserts.
After lunch, guests hung around to catch up, took more photos, and just relaxed.

Our videography team, OmniStories, stole us away for a couple moments to shoot some artistic photos. It felt awkward, but it did give us our first moment alone in the day.
Some people had more on their minds and did more thinking then mingling. Here, Papa Hot Wings was sitting aside and watching the festivities. Papa Hot Wings has always been the reflective type. I would like to think that he was taking in his only daughter’s wedding day. I would soon give him his only walk down the aisle moment.

Then it was time to move on to the next events of the day. The Hottie Women gathered in the bridal suite to start the process of transforming me from my tea ceremony look to my civil ceremony look.

Do you need to catch up with the hotness?
That backdrop of the ocean is just gorgeous! As are the people standing in front of it 
Those photos of you and Mr HW against the ocean are stunning.
Hotness is right - gosh, the whole scene is really sooooo gorgeous!
Your wedding is just so dreamy. I love everything about it. And that food sounds yummy!
OM NOM NOM that food sounds sooooo good! And you and Mr. HW are way adorable!
1 - I have always wanted to try a Bahn Mi sandwich…I dream about them and I don’t even know what they taste like!
2 - You are so pretty. So so pretty!
The picture of your dad is great, he really is taking it all in I think.
I am with Buttons…I’ve always wanted to try a Banh Mi sandwich despite not knowing the contents.

Mrs. Hot Wings, Chicago/San Diego Age and Occupation: 28, Professor Fiance's Age and Occupation: 32, Instructor Engagement Date: December 20, 2008 Wedding Date: August 2010 Venue: Ocean View Villas/Jasmine Seafood Restaurant About Me: I am a psychology grad student living in Chicago and planning my wedding to a fellow psych grad student. I am a Sunny So-Cal bred gal who trudged across the country to follow her love of psychology and ended up finding a partner in the process. I am overly passionate about anything I involve myself with. I am an activist, a foodie, a reality TV watching junkie, an over-analyzer, a photography obsesser, and am utterly cheesy to the core. This is a story of what happens when a boy and a girl meet, fall in love over academic dorkiness, and a shared love for life. We (mostly I) are planning our semi-destination wedding in my hometown of San Diego. We are excited to bring our families and friends together from across our lifespans to celebrate our future in a grand 400+ person culturally blended affair!
