MC — Education & Directions The MC welcomes guests and explains the ceremony so everyone feels included and prepared: What the Khmer knot tying ceremony is — a sacred tradition where blessings are woven into the couple's life through each knot What the blessed yarn represents — it carries the energy and intention of every person who ties it Acknowledgment of Nickie's parents and their presence at the altar "When your group is called, please come forward and take a piece of yarn from the table. Hold it in both hands and take a moment to think of a wish or blessing for Nickie and Bo. When you're ready, tie it gently around both of their wrists — Nickie's first, then Bo's. You don't need to speak out loud, but you're welcome to share your blessing if you'd like." — MC directions to guests MC — Opening Prayer The MC leads all guests in a prayer over the couple, the ceremony, and the blessings about to be given. Elders Tie First — Bo's Parents Bo's parents rise and approach the couple. As the elders they hold the highest honor and set the intention for all blessings that follow. They take yarn from the table, tie the first knots on both wrists — Nickie's first, then Bo's — and speak their blessing aloud. This is the most sacred moment of the ceremony. Knot Tying — Everyone Lines Up The MC invites guests to line up and come forward one group at a time. Each person takes a piece of blessed yarn from the table, holds their wish, then ties it around both wrists.
