I’m putting DevPress on a five-minute break from tutorials, themes, and plugins to share with you my wedding. (Now you know why I’ve been missing in action.) I married the Wife on July 9th, 2011. My wife and I took the stress-free approach to wedding planning — let the venue, restaurant, cake, and flower people take care of it. All we’d need to do is show up with my tux, wedding dress, and smiles on our faces knowing we didn’t have to stress about every little detail.
Ten people (including my mom, dad, and brother) from the states came back to Vietnam to attend. Therefore, I wanted an easygoing, family atmosphere so my family could relax, have fun, and talk with the Wife and I any time they want.
Without any more teasers, here’s how our small, six-table, humble little wedding in Vietnam turned out…
Preparation
Hair and make-up for the bride done in-house by relatives.
My wife had a huge pimple right on the nose… on her wedding day! Fortunately, my cousins did a great job covering it up using very light makeup.
Big cousin Frank helping me with the tux and saying “up-yours” to my peace sign.
The Wedding
Lef to right: mom, brother, wife, me, and dad
Ceremony
Let’s Eat
Miscellaneous
The next time I’d wear a tux will probably be my kid’s wedding.
Excuse the peace sign, we Asians love it because we don’t know what other gang signs to put up! Several bigger weddings took place at the same venue. Each room hosts one wedding. We took the six-table room, but our small sixty-guests wedding partied longer than other weddings so we were last to leave the venue hahahah!
On Vacation
And here’s the everyday normal Small Potato with his wife. We’ve been traveling around Vietnam with family and friends, which means I’ll be on vacation until August 5th, 2011.
Growing old like this doesn’t suck at all…
p.s. – We took 400 something photos at the wedding, but I’m too lazy to post them.
Congratulations!
I was sure I knew your name from somewhere but now that you have mentioned your nickname as well, I remembered: I’ve been using a lot of your old themes, from before you packed and disappeared from the wp scene.
I’m glad you’re back and in such good company as here on devpress.
I wish you and your wife a long and happy life!
Congratulations!
I have been wondering where you’ve been. I’m glad to hear that you’re back into action soon and here on DevPress.
Wishing you and your wife a long and happy life!

I only found out you were back in WP action today. I was a regular visitor and even a subscriber to your old site/club.
Best of luck with your new adventures in work and life!
Thanks Ian!
[...] recently married and my wife is going to make me pay for cutting into our personal time. “More foot massages [...]
Congrats man!!
And best of luck on the 32 day challenge!!
The restaurant did a good job setting up everything for you. And it’s also an excellent decision to have someone do the legwork. wedding preparations can be toxic.
Congratulations!
