Wedding Video

[Teacher Mark 53]

Here is Part 1 of our Wedding Video. It is mainly a prelude. I will have the other parts up within the week. It takes a flippin' hour to upload 9 minutes with my aircard. Still pretty amazing that it can be done at all though!

Thanks for sharing part one. We're looking forward to seeing the rest. We both agree Thuy is beautiful.

It reminds us of our engagement DVD. It seems whoever makes these really really like using every special efx possible......

Ours was the same, it took about 10 minutes to get the ceremony, etc

We hope you get processed quickly and smoothly so your together soon!

gawd can you just put in the earring!

hahahahah

I thought the same thing....

Congrats, what a lovely couple!

[Teacher Mark 53]

gawd can you just put in the earring!

The cut out the part where I said "This is why we have rehearsals in America" and where she made the second attempt to do it herself and I said "I got it, I got it"! It was hung up on skin and I didn't want to hurt her. My camera sense (blocking) is a bit off also. Seriously, no rehearsal!? By the end of the second day I was ready for it to be over (that's why in America it's only one day)!

We'll be having another ceremony when Thuy gets here. I want a "do over".

Beautiful Bride, and Vietnam looks so beautiful, I would love to see it one day.

Peter and Thi,

Thanks. Talk about a real life Beauty and the Beast! My Vietnamese is limited but I think I overheard one of the guest say "Wow, that guy must have fell out of a plane into an ugly forest and hit every tree on the way down"!

Now to the video...I hate it. The pictures from the same company....ditto. We have one pic where the superimposed us onto a dock by a lake. It looks like a scene from a movie that would be titled "Invasion of the really, really big people to the dock by the lake"! Then they took it upon themselves to pick the pic for the large portrait. One part of the video has around 5 minutes devoted to the wedding singer. I call him "Members Only". You'll see why. I mean God bless them all, but come on. Then there's the typos with my name and my parents address. It's the address of the place I rent in Knoxville. Dad and Mom have been divorced for 39 years and she's been dead for 10 and neither has ever been there! My name is now Edward, Junior also. Effects? It's raining flowers! I was waiting for a Unicorn to come flying out of my kazoo the first time I saw it!

My Vietnamese is also limited but the family had Viet, an inlaw, translate the ceremony, etc and he never told me anything like that about me but then he maybe is too polite to say......

We also had our share of typos in our DVD too. Also whoever made the cake spelled Thi's name, Thy (also one of the typos on the DVD). Who ever edited the video didn't bother to read the sign on the wall that had Thi's name spelled correctly....... No addresses in our Engagement DVD except the one at the begining and end for the company that made the DVD....... While watching it for the first time, I kept thinking this looks like an infomerical for the DVD company...... not a record of our engagement.....

The typos had Thi so upset that she didn't want to include it in our interview evidence. We did because I told her the Consulate isn't likely to watch it at her interview and if they did they would know the typos where just that. (Of course, they didn't even as if we had one....) It's good to know that others DVDs/videos also are like ours.....

Same here regarding the dvd. I don't understand why someone wouldn't consult with a native speaker. The remark regarding my looks was a joke that I made up. It never happened (to my knowledge)!

Part 2 is up now.

I think that was lovely, even with the abundance of special effects ...such a beautiful Bride You make a wonderful couple!

[ILoveTan 0]

WOW - THUY IS GORGEOUS! What a body .... even me, as a woman, feel a little hot and bothered right now hihihihi ... thanks so much for sharing. Don't worry about it not being perfect, you guys looked great, and I love the fun special affects... if you saw MY engagement video, you would be thanking your lucky stars for yours, trust me!!

Boy, would everyone on VJ have a CONNIPTION if I posted my engagement ceremony DVD with Tan. I think we made history in Vietnam. I don't think anyone has ever carried on like we did at our ceremony, INCLUDING me cussing out the camera in Vietnamese by saying (and I will try to make this as G rated as possible for our innocent VJ readers) MOTHERF****, I WASTED $3000 TO GET ENGAGED TO A VIET MAN?!?!? MOTHERF**** THIS WONT BRING ME ONE C***SUCK*** (you figure it out) THING AT ALL!!! :-) Ahhhh the beauty of being trashed at your engagement party. And of course, mr. editor decided to not only LEAVE THAT IN THE FILM FOR HIS FAMILY TO WATCH, but also SLOW-MO it. Along with his other fun slow-mo moments include me LICKING the camera lens and me adjusting my D-cup breasts and bouncing wildly up and down while cussing in Viet at the camera "MOTHERF**** TURN AROUND YOU HORNY PIG" Again, lovely. MEMORIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

If any of his family or friends want lessons on manners and polite social behavior, now they know who to call!

Sooooo.... does that make you feel better about your DVD yet????

ILOVETAN - here to help!
