A Family Affair

September 12th, 2008 @ 4:00 pm by Mrs. Bee

I was going to wait for the pro pics from my cousin’s wedding last Sunday, but my mom would like a glimpse of the day’s festivities, so here goes!

The wedding was held at the gorgeous Orange County Performing Arts Center.

The ceremony chairs were arranged in a circular formation…

There was tons of natural light from the floor to ceiling windows…

Finishing touches and big sis putting on the veil!

The theme of stars was carried throughout the stationery, lighting, and decor.

The ceremony arrangements consisted of yellow and orange roses, white hydrangeas, and orange calla lilies secured with brooches, to water-filled vases topped with a floating candle.

The groom’s 98 year old grandmother (far left) flew all the way from Korea to attend!

Her beautiful dress had detachable straps!

The officiant cued the recessional music at the end of his speech, and forgot to tell them to kiss!  The couple and guests reminded the officiant of the most important part, and my cousin did get to kiss her new groom. :)

I brought each of my little cousins a bag full of candy and Nintendo DS and PSP games.  I’m now the cool cousin — I believe in buying their love.

The ceremony was great, the wedding was beautiful, and I had a blast, but my only complaint was there wasn’t enough variety with the hors d’oeuvres - the best part of any wedding!

Two different types of centerpieces adorned the tables.

Unfortunately my camera battery charged incorrectly and died after the first dance, so I don’t have any pictures from the reception. But I’m sure the pro pics will be 1,000,000x better, so stay tuned!

Congratulations Scott and Jessica!  I feel so lucky to have been part of your big day.  It was truly a beautiful, fun, crazy night!

Mrs. Bee did you take all of these pictures? I think you have a secret talent that you haven’t told all of us about! I love the skewers in the cantaloupe.

I was at that wedding!! My husband was the best man and my daughter was the 2 year old boogie-ing out on the dance floor! And I actually saw someone sitting in the front, in a purple dress, with a big camera and thought for a second that it could be Bee from weddingbee but dismissed it thinking, nah…why would she be here?!

My husband is cracking up - he says I’m acting like I’d seen a celebrity - I told him I had. I’ve been a huge fan for years!
