Traditional Or Modern Wedding? - Episode 09

Should you have a traditional or modern wedding? If you're like us, we wanted our special day to not only be memorable, but also make sure that our parents feel like they had their input as well. Not an easy task! Growing up in America with Asian immigrant parents, we definitely struggled with finding a balance between having a more modern western style wedding, and including more traditional elements from our cultural heritage. In this episode, we share some hilarious stories about Will's clash with his mom including picking auspicious dates, guest size, tea ceremony, and superstitious rituals.
