Wedding Blog

**I forgot to note in my earlier posts that all pictures are courtesy of our pro-photographer, Dennis Lee, You rock, Dennis!!**

After our photo session, the ladies went back to my room to freshen up. At 5 o’clock, my DOC came a knockin’. It was time!

First up, the gentlemen. They walked out to the piano piece Clair de Lune by Claude Debussey.

My very-soon-to-be-hubby making his way down the aisle with his parents

My sister/MOH processing down the aisle. The BMs walked in to the instrumental version of Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve.

Our littlest flower girl… this picture cracks me up. That’s her daddy luring her with a BANANA! Too cute!

Next up, our other flower girl and ring bearer (brother and sister), clutching matching teddy bears. She is also holding a bell, which she was supposed to ring… but I guess she had her hands full and forgot!

Last but not least, Moi. I walked down the aisle to my favorite song, The Prayer, by Charlotte Church and Josh Groban. Don’t my parents look great? It was their day too!!

Passing me along to Mr. E….*sniff sniff* I know it was a very bittersweet day for my mom, but she told me later that she enjoyed every minute of our wedding!

FYI, his dimple had me at “hello” 3 years ago, hehe

Right before we exchanged our vows, we chose to say some “personal words” to each other. We each wrote a brief paragraph about our love for the other. I had a cheat sheet because I knew I would be too nervous and emotional to remember what I wanted to say. This was one of the highlights of the ceremony, and a number of our guests told us afterwards that we made them cry too!

Yes, it’s those darn tears again and the reappearance of the tissue!

Clearly Mr.E had a hard time getting through his personal words as well!! But he actually memorized his, much to my surprise!

“With this ring, I thee wed”

“You may now kiss the bride!”

We recessed to the instrumental version of Clocks by Coldplay.

The moments right after the ceremony were truly emotional for us and our bridal party… hugs and tears all around!!

We asked all our guests to remain in their seats after the ceremony (there was a note in the program and our officiant also made an announcement). We came back out and Dennis quickly snapped this pic. You can’t see EVERYone, but they just couldn’t all fit!

Mr. E’s family and some special guests from Hong Kong

My extended family from all over the country and Taiwan! This was the FIRST time EVER that we had so made relatives together! It was fantastic!

Coming up… Party Time!
