About Mrs. Toucan

After the AWESOME performance by the ladies of Gund Kwok, all of our guests funneled into the dinner room, and the intros began starting off with our proud parents! <click images to enlarge>

Following our parents, our lovely bridesmaids escorted by our handsome groomsmen…

Oh Happy Day: Intros, the 1st Dance, and the Real 1st Dance :  wedding pictures recap Touc In03After our introductions, we had planned to go straight into our first dance since we were already standing in the middle of the dance floor. However for some reason, instead of cueing up our first dance song right away, our DJ started playing some techno dance song. Mr. Toucan and I didn’t know what to do… except dance!

Despite a little awkwardness, and having 2 “first dances,”

Love your photos, and your dress is absolutely beautiful. As a huge Elvis fan (yes, I was married in Vegas by Elvis and never had more fun in my life), I think it’s so great that your first (real) dance was to The Wonder of You…congratulations!
