Orange County Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen, in collaboration with the City of Westminster, will perform the first-ever renewal of vow ceremony during the highly anticipated annual 2025 Westminster Tet Parade on Saturday, February 1, 2025. The parade begins at the intersection of Bolsa Ave. and Magnolia St. and will head eastbound on Bolsa Ave. The opening ceremony is scheduled at 8:30 a.m., followed by the parade at 9:30 a.m. For the first time in the event’s history, one special couple will have the unique opportunity to renew their vows during the parade in front of thousands of attendees and viewers worldwide.
“The Westminster Tet Parade and Lunar New Year celebrates unity, family, love, and new beginnings,” said Clerk-Recorder Nguyen. “It is the perfect occasion to honor these values, and I am thrilled to perform a renewal of vow ceremony for one couple to reaffirm their commitment to each other and celebrate their love in front of loved ones and the community.”
The Westminster Tet Parade is the world’s largest Tet Parade and has been held in the heart of Little Saigon for over 20 years. The event is a vibrant celebration of the Lunar New Year and the Vietnamese American community, complete with beautiful floats, lion dances, community organizations, and cultural performances. With the renewal of vow ceremony, Clerk-Recorder Nguyen will be bringing a special and heartfelt addition to the parade.
The renewal of vow ceremony offers a meaningful way for couples to reaffirm their commitment. Whether celebrating a milestone anniversary, recreating a ceremony delayed by the pandemic, or simply looking for a unique way to honor their love, this renewal of vow promises an intimate and unforgettable experience. Couples are welcome to have their children, parents, grandparents, or any loved ones join the special moment.
