The night before the day of the wedding, we kept with tradition and had a rehearsal followed by a formal dinner so everyone in the wedding would know their roles. The students planned everything except for the rehearsal part- that was left up to the minister, the mother-of-the-bride, and an 
American friend visiting from her home in Hanoi. Four of my male students came in ties and 
learned how to be ushers, while 15 or so of my female students busied themselves in the kitchen to prepare the food: watermelon smoothies, potato salad, chicken soup, and tapioca pudding for desert. The cooks doubled as servers and came professionally dressed in matching outfits.
Nice!
Nice!
Nice!
Nice!
Another group of students provided the entertainment and plan for the dinner part of the evening. They projected a slideshow of pictures of Jon and I, announced when different dishes were served, asked questions about my relationship with Jon (and gave prizes to the winners), gave time for people
to tell stories, and played name that tune.
Everyone involved did a wonderful job- and to everyone's delight, Jon and I mangaged to squeeze in a slow dance together as well.
Thank you class A for hosting such a wonderful dinner party!
