Alec + Tina Wedding Extravaganza: Part One

A distinctly original celebration in a grassy field in District 2 leads to debauchery, traditional theatrics with a modern twist, and good ole fun. We present the pictorial story of Alec + Tina's Wedding:


Early in the evening...



The unsinkable DJ Samurai emits noise...












Putting on the dress...






The application of face and/or body paint was prevalent and helped fend away evil spirits (such as roving tigers and the corrupt/ineffectual HCMC police hovering out-of-site around the greater perimeter).


The application of make-up helped a beautiful young woman become even more stunning.



The night progresses and copious amounts of lukewarm beer are consumed.  This invariably leads to a heightened group awareness and amiability runs strong.









Young Steven shows off his bride/groom commemorative t-shirt.  That is not a down-syndrome Marxist rebel on the front...that is Alec.



A pensive and thoughtful Tuan Anh contemplates the cosmos as madness swirls round.





Re-assurance...




"Where are the rings?"



The peanut gallery, attracted by the huge ground lights and film crew, wait patiently for a superstar to emerge from this off-kilter dreamscape.





Paint...




An avian countenance.


Friends and family...












And the band plays on... live music provided by Maeve, Dave, Janel, David, Julian, Baylin, Moe, et. al.


A weary photographer.


Part Two to be posted soon! Motorbikes, scimitars, and fire!
