A Vietnamese Wedding

Truc, who owns a resort on Phu Quoc, where I stayed for a few days, invited me to her friends’ wedding. Said yes, and showed up on my motorbike, to pick her up. She emerged in a black miniskirt and proceeded to rock the house.Little did I know she was the MC. T’was a lovely outdoor affair, about 100 guests, overflowing with all manner of fish and game. They have a toast in Vietnam, or at least on this island, that goes mot, hai, ba, YO! (1-2-3 YO!). And then you have to drink their bright pink-colored homemade wine/sake/liquor shot. Here you can see the magical moment when the groom pops the cork on the champagne. Their weddings are like a 1970s variety show.
