Schedule

Khmer Ceremony (invitation only)

8:00 am - 3:00 pm

Semi formal and socks are recommended.

A traditional Khmer wedding is one of the most joyous occasions for a Khmer family and we're so excited to celebrate with you. Khmer weddings typically last from 3 days to an entire week -- it is a grand affair full of colors and festivity, and steeped in tradition. Family, friends, and other members of the community come together to share in the celebration. Musicians play throughout the days with traditional instruments and the couple is dressed like royalty. Unlike most Western weddings, guests are usually highly animated and integrated into the ceremonies, with the elders typically explaining the significance of the various customs to the younger generation. For this abbreviated wedding, each ceremony session is about 30-50 minutes. We'll have a detailed printed programming sheet to help you follow along. Feel free to turn to a neighbor should you have any questions or comments. Guests may freely move in and out of ceremonies and may stand and leave the room to stretch your legs.

American Ceremony

5:00 pm

Pick a seat on either side - you are loved by both the groom and bride. Bubbles will be available on the aisle seats of each row but feel free to sit anywhere and watch their love grow. When the newly weds finally say "I Do", we have a small ask for you. Please blow bubbles to send well wishes to the new Mr. and Mrs.! We kindly ask you be fully present & enjoy this special moment with us by keeping your phones & personal cameras off during this time.
