Congratulatioins to both of you! I'm so happy for guys. Thi looked beautiful. I'm glad you got her to move closer to you so we could see her. :lol: Is the dinner a live stream? If so, that's a great idea. Can't see much in the dark, but still a great idea. I would love to do something like that for our party in VN so my family and friends here in the US could watch part of it. Very clever of you Peter. ;) Good luck to the two of you.

Peter, your wedding was beautiful.... thanks for inviting me! :dance: Thi is just adorable, beautiful and sweet. You are both very lucky to have found each other. I wish you only the best things forever. I hope you guys will have ALOT of fun with the presents I brought.... :devil: hihihihihihihih

I can't seem to Download your vid clips but I would like to see how hot I looked... hihihihi your friends kept telling me that they heard the soundtrack to Casablanca playing when looking at me. I think that is a compliment but I am bit too young for that reference.... it is a GOOD thing right? hihihihi :blush:

Again, now that I am back in the states, I am available anytime to help you and Thi... I am glad to translate or help her with english. Certainly it would nice for her to have a friend who not only knows about America and is American but can also speak Vietnamese. Anyway, we'll talk more privately. Enjoy your honeymoon... anything SPECIAL planned? hihihi can I EVER remove my mind from the gutter????? TROI OI (ohmygod!) in vietnamese

Just to let everyone who asked about me know, I just got back to America and I am sure I will posting around asking for help with Tan's K1 ... it is hard for me to keep my spirits high and post all the time because we literally talk for 3 or 4 hours every day by webcam and he cries. It hard to endure seeing someone you would die to protect crying in agony because you aren't with them. I am a tough chick but really, this is tearing me apart. If I didn't have important work here, I would be running back to him.... but I can't abandon what I have worked for in America for 3 years and it will only benefit him and his life when he comes here. He really doesn't belong in VN.

*hugs to all* Thanks again Peter for the fun last night!

Thuy .... I LOVE TAN

:idea: If you want to make a webroadcast, it's not that hard as long as you have enough upload bandwidth. My AT&T account has 1.6mbps download but only 429 upload (it's suppose to have 760 but DSL loses speed the further from the hub and if you have copper wire that doesn't help either). You have to have at least 300mbps upload, I used Ustream.tv because it's free, allows live feeds and you can record the live feed for later viewing.

I had 3 different webcams set up and two different computers so there wouldn't be much to reconfigure during the wedding. One was my Sony Digital Hi 8 camorder for the reception which the battery ran out and I lost most of the music in the reception..... I didn't have anyone who knew about this to help so I did it myself so there wasn't anyone monitoring it.

If anyone has more questions about doing this, PM me and I'll explain in detail, etc.

Thanks Thuy and everyone else.

We're glad Thuy was able to come. We'll post our pictures from the wedding for those who want to see them.

Thuy really can tone down if she wants too! We have pictures to prove it :yes: The Casablanca thing is very good..... We're still trying to figure some of your gifts out :lol:

We were sorry you had to leave early but we understand you wanted to chat!! I was the same before Thi came to the US. We'll PM you about helping Thi.
