The Traditions

The ceremony reflected the bride’s Chinese heritage and the groom’s adopted faith of Quakerism. The couple each walked down the aisle with their parents, and they incorporated a moment of silence (a Quaker tradition) after the first reading. Neely and Dominic also drank from two goblets filled with wine and honey that were tied together by a red ribbon, a Chinese tradition symbolizing the invisible thread that connects two individuals from birth.
