It's so wonderful to get a sneak peak into other cultures; look at these clothes, so beautiful. Thanks for sharing that!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful national costume - such an interesting melding of Asian styles. Such a handsome couple too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous wedding and what a beautiful queen. She reminds me of Ziyi Zhang that stunning cHinese acrtress who I adore. The wedding looks like one of those big budget movies that I love like 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'.
