i was lucky to be able to attend julie and joe’s vietnamese engagement ceremony and party this week. it was an intimate gathering of family and friends, and a wonderful preview of their wedding coming up in the fall.
getting ready…

stella was ready too!


after hearing meaningful speeches from the families, julie and joe served the ceremonial tea.

then we got to enjoy a homemade vietnamese meal, all made by julie’s mom.


after three appetizers, somehow i found room for this delicious bowl of pho. so good!!

can’t wait for the wedding!
