Those who know me well also know I am never at a loss for words. I am either lecturing someone on a topic they care little about or writing some exhaustive tome to nothing.
But Ái Nhân got to me today. She made me speechless.
Cindy and I didn’t just attend the wedding of Ái Nhân and Kien – we were in it. She asked us to wear ào dài and be part of the bride’s family. We were very literally honored to be there.
It is one thing to go to a wedding – I have been to many over the years. But Ái Nhân is one of my Vietnamese daughters, and when she appeared, my heart skipped a beat. Every bride is beautiful, of course, but this daughter of mine was the most beautiful woman in the world.
The two parts of the wedding are over and the party will start later this afternoon. Cindy will have a better report than I, but for now, I am so proud and happy for both Ái Nhân and Kien.
