About Mrs. Peony

Where were we? Oh, yes, the limo. (All photos by Danny Weiss.)

About half of the bridal party dozed off on our way from Manhattan to Westchester. I didn’t find out until after the wedding that the boys had held a party the night before in their hotel suite, staying up until 4AM.  They had finished off numerous bottles of whiskey (save for one, more on that later winky02), vodka, and wine… the hotel security came up twice to ask them to quiet down! I knew something was up when they all refused the complimentary champagne in the limo - they were all hungover!

When we finally arrived at The Fountainhead, the groomsmen and bridesmaids went off to greet the early guests and make sure that everything was in order. Our photographer ushered Mr. Peony and me aside to take some additional portraits.

Isn’t the foyer gorgeous? I felt like I stepped back in time to 18th century France.

I love this series of shots -

I always feel awkward when posing for pictures by myself…

Ahh, that’s better! With my bridesmaids:

Although I felt a bit pressed for time, I am so glad that we took some time out for these portraits - they are some of my favorites!

Next up: meet my big fat Korean family!
