Kansas City Wedding: Anh & Brian are purpl-iciously married!

Long awaited by Anh & Brian’s family and friends (and I mean loooooong), the wedding day finally arrives…and it is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-LL!!!!  Seriously, the weather was that of every Bride’s dreams.

Ok…all future Brides out there…check this out.  Anh had told me that she was preparing for everything and put together a little emergency kit.  …she wasn’t playing around.

Brian also prepared for everything…wait, I mean everyone. 🙂  Here’s how gullible I am…one of the groomsmen asks me to pass him the big bottle in the cooler next to me.  So as I do, I realize how GIGANTIC the bottle is and let out a gasp.  The groomsmen says, “oh, it’s just water.  We refilled it.”  …I totally believed him…thinking if I had a ginormous bottle of Grey Goose, I might save and refill with water just to mess with people too.  Then later I’m watching everyone on the trolley cheers their wine/shot glasses with this so-called-water.  Then not much later after that, everyone is laughing much harder and quite happily passing around the famous water.  …hummmm….I don’t think that groomsmen was very truthful with me. 😉

This was my very first time to witness a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony, and it was a very humbling experience.  Family is defined by such events.  To see so many people come together, give gifts, give blessings, give witness…it was a very personal celebration that can be seen on everyone’s face who attended.

I couldn’t help but share this image…it was so fitting of the moment.  Matt and I had both tried our hand at grabbing a shot of this little boy in the white suit…each time only able to catch the back of his head as he sped off.  So, I thought it was hilarious when this little girl just grabbed him, spun around, and we went trigger happy with our cameras. hahahahahaha  Poor little guy.  He has this look on his face like “what’s going on?!?!!”

This one CRACKS ME UP!!!!!  First of all I LOVE all these girls!  Anh has an awesome group of friends.  Second of all, what you see here is her girls blowing her kisses while she’s supposed to be catching the kisses. hahahahahahahahahahahaha  I think it’s much much funnier to us girls who were there…so this one’s for you girls. :))))

And Brian…don’t you know it’s not nice to kick beautiful girls? hehe

Again, Anh’s friends are so awesome…especially Nikky..she is always there to lend a helping hand. 😉 (and yes, I realize that was totally cheesy).

Not water. 🙂

Two images to show how windy it was.
