Werner -

In New York, I frequnetly see Chinese American couples being posed for wedding photos. A Chinese American colleague told me that typically, they take the photos several months before the ceremony, and often the tux and gowns are rented just for the photos. Based on the fit of the groom's tux in your lovely photo I suspect that the Vietnamese also shoot months in advance, and at least the groom is in a hired tux that hasn't been fitted for him.

Very emotive shot. I like the combination of the powerful political symbols and the innocence of the subject. The flag makes it for me. Thanks for sharing.

PS It could be a bit bigger!
