Big THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts


Our wedding has become history now. We feel so blessed that we're loved by so many people and they really showed their happiness for us. My parents were planning with me the whole time. Mommy was searching everywhere for the favors and found those cute candles-in-a-fishbowl, she shopped and got a great deal on the invites, she and me mother-in-law went to china to have my pretty pink dress made. Daddy helped me with the guest list, the to-do list, and handed me to Simon!! (and he was chosen by Fr. Brian to pass out the Holy Blood during our nuptial mass) Phyllis threw a wonderful bridal shower, gave me ideas and inspirations, put together a detailed run-down (which was unfortunately ignored by the MC), helped me with numerous small things during the wedding, and gave a heart-warming toast at the reception. Rebecca found the sandcastles which made a very cute centerpiece, ordered all the dresses for the bridesmaids, wrote out all the place cards, and sent her finance to be our designated driver. Ellen came early to calm me down and be our bookkeeper, we spent hours to put together the ultimate schedule for the rehearsal day and wedding day, and she literally drove over 200 miles in 2 days. Kitty came with us to look for the reception site and we both liked Breakers very much, she was always there to listen to my rants and complains about wedding planning, she was also one of the readers in our ceremony.

Special thanks to Vincent, Charles, Louis, Anson, Michael, Gregory, Janice, Hingling and Mike, Karen and Lin, Dominic, Ada, Jason.. All of you helped arranging and organizing so everything went smoothly. The guest table was gorgeous with Janice, Hingling, and Ah Yuen's creativity. Recent brides Alvina and Grace also gave me invaluable advice and support throughout the year.

Of course I need to thank Simon for being so understanding and supportive the whole time. Well...... most of the times. He helped a lot when it came to calling different venders and also helped me with my little DIY projects (pew buckets, programs, etc.) He made me laugh when I wanted to cry and cheered me up at miserable times. His optimism kept me staying positive. I'm spoiled.

We just can't say enough to thank everyone, our dream is not going to come true without anyone of you. We love all of you and hope we'll share a lifetime of memories together.
