Tips for Planning a CULTURAL WEDDING! | Breaking Traditions, Vietnamese Tea Ceremony

[@laetitia.tiphaine]

I can totally relate. I come from a cameroonian family and I'm the 1st child & girl to get married. Last week my father told me "it's not your wedding". Well...

[@tinalemac]

Omg, giiiirl, the whole time I was planning the wedding, I kept telling people, "It's not my wedding, its my parents' party!" 😂

[@SarahKwak21]

Seriously tho, that headpiece you DIYed looks STUNNING!! That's is LEGiT! ❤️❤️❤️

[@tinalemac]

Thank you for posting this! I am currently planning my wedding for October 9th 2020...figures crossed no COVID 19 delay. My fiance is from Malaysia. He is half Chinese and half Indian. I am a white American and my family is from Norway. My fiance is Hindu and I am Christian. So we are defiantly planning a very multicultural and multi religious wedding. It's hard to know what to do sometimes. Thanks for all your content it is a great help!

[@tinalemac]

Wow! You guys sound like a beautiful couple! Wishing you the best of luck in the wedding planning process, it’s going to be the best day ever! Thank you for watching Mandy 💛

[@MsGititgurl]

Love it!! So beautiful to see how other cultures celebrates weddings 🥰🥰

[@tinalemac]

Yes! So many beautiful wedding traditions, I love seeing them all 😍

[@MsGititgurl]

Tina Le...me too!!

[@jenniferphung]

I totally relate, I'm the firstborn and the first one getting married. I also forgot that my folks are social butterflies. We're having the tea ceremony as well!

[@BLunited]

Firstly, this video is excellent and really unique and I’m grateful that you made it! I know you mentioned that you had a very large wedding because of your parents status in the community. I am in a really similar situation. How did you make sure to still enjoy and spend time with special guests with such a large event?

[@cammycat1015]

Thank you so much for this video - so helpful! I struggle with the language barrier as most guests won‘t speak one common language! My partner‘s father is from the states, we both grew up in Germany but living in New Zealand and my family is vietnamese spread all across USA, Russia, Vietnam and Germany. So every single step - from website, ceremony, signages etc. Have to be in German, English and Vietnamese. Very overwhelming. Any tipps?

[@tinalemac]

Wow! That’s so much to juggle! Perhaps the best thing to do is have programs explaining everything in each language instead of having a very large program translated in different languages! Also, for some signs you can draw and use universal symbols instead of words. I hope this helps! 💛

[@tinalemac]

Also, thank you so much for watching! I’m so glad this video is able to help more people who have to deal with the same thing! Best of luck on wedding planning 🥰💖

[@BlessMyHart96]

I’m trying to plan a tea ceremony because my fiancé is Chinese. His mom and dad have been so helpful! Thank goodness because I’m so nervous about doing something insensitive or wrong.

[@tinalemac]

Congrats!! 🎉 I think you will be totally fine, everyone will be focused on celebrating your love over anything else 💖 Wishing you the best of luck for your big day!!

[@cuetipandcottonball]

Did you hold your tea ceremony and reception on the same day? If so, did you find that stressful or were you able to manage?

[@tinalemac]

Yes! I had it the morning of my reception. I've heard of people doing it the day before and that would've alleviated some of the stress, but I think that it felt more special doing it all in the same day (:

[@cheerleaderbunny96]

Very helpful video, my fiancé is Vietnamese. We will have 2 weddings: 1 Vietnamese Tea Ceremony and 1 American wedding 😰

[@briaunajackson3342]

I’m Dominican and Haitian but only on my mom’s side. My dad is just American but I want to integrate that into my wedding. I’m only 18 but it makes me think what to do 😂

[@lz738]

I'm so curious about what the gifts were that the groomsmen offered the bridesmaids (aside from the egg tarts that you mentioned).

[@TramTran7]

Called mam qua!!

[@videesTV]

Did you have 2 ceremonies?

[@tinalemac]

We got married at the courthouse a couple days before, then on our wedding day we did the tea ceremony and the reception. I did not do a "walk down the aisle" ceremony, although I know many that do both, even if they are not doing a religious ceremony! (:

[@khhanhvyy]

[@heylow1505]
