Friday, April 27th: Khmer-Chinese Ceremony

The Cambodian ceremony will commence on Friday, April 27th, 10AM - 3:00PM at Piper Hall Mansion on the Lake. Address: 1032 W. Sheridan Road, Chicago, IL 60660

Chinese-Cambodian weddings traditionally consisted of ceremonies and celebrations lasting three days and three nights. Three is considered to be an especially auspicious number by Chinese-Cambodians because of its association with the "three jewels" of Buddhism: the Buddha, the Sangha (brotherhood of monks), and the Dhamma (the Buddha's teachings). Due to the demands of modern day life however, today, both in Cambodia and overseas, all the following wedding ceremonies are usually completed in just one day. Welcome to the abridged version of Lollie and Kristopher’s wedding.

The Engagement

Originally, I planned to propose to Lollie on the steps of the Art Institute on June 17, 2011. Unfortunately, nobody in my family or hers can keep a secret so I had to come up with a backup plan.

Buying the Ring

As you may know, Lollie's family is in the jewelry industry. Thus, I had the doubly complicated challenge of asking her parents for permission AND getting the ring from them -- at the same time! Here are some pictures of how that went down.
