Alma & Spencer’s Renewal of Vows
Back in 2016 when we got married, we made a promise that we would host a renewal of vows in Kazakhstan. Now, 10 years later, we’re upholding that promise and would like to invite you to join us!
Amelia’s Tusau Kesu
In addition to our vows, we are excited to share a very special Kazakh tradition for our daughter: her Tusau Kesu (the "cutting of the fetters"). This ceremony marks her first steps into the world, where her "path" is cleared by a mentor to ensure a bright future.
The Day’s Events
Vow Renewal: A ceremony of reflection and rededication as we celebrate a decade of marriage.
Tusau Kesu: A traditional Kazakh "cutting of the fetters." We look forward to sharing this beautiful custom with all of you as we celebrate our daughter’s future.
Dinner & Celebration: To follow the ceremonies.
Time & Location: Specific venue details and start times will be updated here as we finalize the arrangements.
