oley knew Vivian wanted to add a special cultural element to their celebration that was symbolic of both of their backgrounds. “I wanted to incorporate as much of my Chinese culture and heritage as I could into my wedding,” says Vivian. After exchanging vows in a traditional Christian ceremony, their reception created the atmosphere of a downhome Southern house party for their guests. The newlyweds chose an East meets West menu complete with spring rolls, tuna sushi, braised short ribs along with crawfish étoufee and a spring walnut salad. Vivian also surprised her father by changing into a traditional Chinese wedding dress for their fatherdaughter dance. Their guests danced the night away as Vivian and Coley enjoyed the wedding of their dreams.
