Recap
Hi Friends and Family!
We wanted to wish everyone a happy new year and thank everyone who made it to our party and for everyone who was there in spirit! This blog hopes to capture our travels in thoughts and in pictures during the next 6 months. Hopefully some of you will be able to join us throughout our journey, if not, we'll see you on the other side in August 2009! Here are a random assortment of pictures from our wedding ceremony and our NYE
bash.
thanks!
On 12/30, (decreed a fortuitous day filled with double happiness by our parents and confirmed by the Bank of China calendar) we opted for a simple ceremony at the Albertson's Wedding Chapel in Downtown Los Angeles with our immediate family (Michelle included :) ). I would highly recommend this chapel for anyone who wants to no-fuss ceremony: it included my bouquet, a techical/proficient photographer and some wedding "sets" (displayed below).
The officiator was pretty entertaining and kept everything moving at a quick clip, just our style.
Here are some obligatory prom/cheese shots from the ceremony:
Our dearest guests:
The two families:
The Mothers:
The Fathers:
The dapper groom/cruise director:
Immediately following the ceremony, the wedding party enjoyed a nice lunch at Craft. (I would recommend the red meat, lamb/steak/ribs and scallops over the fish.) After a brief respite in the afternoon, we joined some friends for dinner at the Arroyo Chop House in Pasadena for some more carnage. Following dinner, Jason and I stayed the night at the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica, which I would not recommend except to, maybe, hang out in the Foyer with the cool pirahna-wall mural/exhibit thingy
Thanks to Nina, Michelle and Will for the decorations, champagne and gifts
On 12/31, with MUCH help from our families (THANK YOU GUYS!), we threw a NYE party for our extended friends and family (THANK YOU FOR COMING!) The Mak's were incredibly gracious in letting us use their home for the party and was so lovely:
A VERY special thanks to Uncle Abe and Auntie Lucy for being such a patient and amicable volunteer photographer before our hired photographer came.
The outside complete with lava rocks, bartender (equipped with enough alcohol to make Lindsay Lohan jealous), heat lamps, sofas and blankets.
Apologies to the poor little piggies (3) sacrificed for our marital happiness:
Please, take some fudge home with you! Seriously, does anyone want some fudge?
Inside, Jason and I roamed around taking pictures with our parent's and their guests. I dont believe I have enough memory to post them all :)
lots and lots of "jing jiu", no joke!
Around 9pm, we had the speeches. Thank you to Rob, Chelsea, Nina and Michelle for your years of friendship and awesome speeches!
No party is complete without ZumbA!!!!
Inside the house, jazz hands filled the air. Outside was a different story... Too many to post here and still waiting for more to roll in....
Congrats to the newly engaged couples:
Eric & Dre (This has to be one of my favorite pics)
Justin & Lauren
Sorry if I left anyone out, not intentional at all! Just nearing my bedtime and Im all out of bandwith, we have lots of pics and will post them slowly!
Thank you again for everyone's support, especially our great families!
