Ravy and her sister...

It is customary in Cambodian
weddings for the bride and other
relatives to change their clothes
multiple times during the 3 days of
ceremonies. Ravy changed 3 times
throughout the day and all of the gowns
were sent from Cambodia and hand sewn
by her Mom. Her sister's gown and many other family members also wore gowns
made by Ravy's mother and they were stunning. I hope to include other photos in the
future of guests and the Tea Ceremony, it was just beautiful. When the
measurements were sent for my son's traditional shirt for the tea ceremony -
because of his size.... they questioned over and over whether the measurements were
correct because Cambodian men are small in stature and weight.
Todd is NOT. He is 6' 2".... The shirt arrived, it fit perfectly, as did the gowns 3 days before the wedding.
It's called "Cambodian Time" in our family and my son just goes with the flow.
