Cambodian Wedding Ceremony

The "official" start of our wedding festivities will begin the afternoon of Friday, February 14 at 3:00pm when we will honor Veronica’s Cambodian heritage with a ceremony that honors the vibrant and elaborate celebration that beautifully reflects Cambodian culture. The short ceremony will be marked by a series of symbolic rituals steeped in tradition. Our family and wedding party will wear stunning traditional Khmer outfits in vibrant colors, with Veronica in a richly decorated silk blouse and skirt, adorned with gold jewelry, and J. Plinio in a long-sleeved shirt and silk pants. We encourage our other guests to wear pink! Why? Read on! Throughout the ceremony, we will change into several beautiful outfits, showcasing the richness of Cambodian attire. Our ceremony will include key rituals such as a Blessing Ceremony, where prayers will be offered for their happiness and prosperity; a Knot-tying Ceremony, where family members will tie red threads around their wrists to bind their souls; and a Passing of Sacred Flames, which wards off evil spirits and blesses their union. We will enjoy a cocktail reception after the ceremony with special Asian inspired bites, a variety of special drinks and cocktails, and a few fun activities!

For us, our wedding is more than just a union — it’s a celebration of family, community, and cultural traditions, emphasizing a respect for our elders, spiritual blessings, and the deep connections that unite our lives.

Wedding Day

Our wedding day will be a magical blend of elegance and island charm. We encourage you to wear Summer Semi-Formal attire. The ceremony will be held starting at 3:45pm on an open-air skydeck offering panoramic views of the pristine beach and shimmering waters of the Caribbean. For cocktail hour at 4:30pm, we’ll sip on tropical cocktails, nibble on Latin bites, and mingle under the warm Caribbean sun while the rhythmic sounds play in the background, including music from a special Yucateca trio. The reception that follows at 6:00pm will be a joyful celebration, with twinkling lights and lanterns illuminating the night sky. We’ll dance the night away under the stars, savoring a feast of local cuisine and raising our glasses in celebration against the backdrop of the sea. From a sparkling display to an "Hora Loca" professional dance ensemble, and with a "famous" Riveria Maya DJ, we'll celebrate until 11:00pm. The "After Party" will start at 11:30pm...and what happens after that stays at the "After Party."

"Day After" Fun

The day after the wedding will be all about relaxation and recovery, perhaps with brunch. Friends and family will gather informally, sharing laughter and memories from the days and nights before. The day’s vibe will be casual and laid-back, lounging in hammocks or taking leisurely strolls along the beach. Some might indulge in soothing spa treatments, while others will opt for a beach volleyball match or a dip in the crystal-clear waters. As the sun sets on our celebration, we will come together for one last toast, celebrating not just our love, but also our love for you and the unforgettable time we shared together.
