Tom and Hanna

We returned to California on Monday morning, and have been recovering in the couple days since — the flight was exhausting, and Mio and I had been suffering from pretty bad allergies the last few days we were in Virginia. Dan joined us for our last weekend there so that we could attend Hanna and Tom’s wedding together! Hanna has been a dear friend of mine since college, and I was so honored to be a part of her wedding as a bridesmaid. We unfortunately didn’t get to take many pictures because I was occupied with bridesmaid duties and Dan was busy taking care of Mio, but here are some of the photos and videos from the special day!

The blushing bride!

Hanna's bridal bouquet that she made herself! Hanna put so much work into designing every detail of her wedding, and it really showed! She's a true artist. 🙂

At the reception, Hanna and Tom shared a very romantic first dance together as husband and wife!

Mio got in and danced with the best of them! Here’s a video montage of her “dancing” and running around at the reception. I had a fun time chasing her around for much of the time…

 

She's so sweet!

The wedding was absolutely beautiful and totally fit the fairy tale theme that Hanna and Tom had envisioned it to be. We’re so happy for them, and wish them all the best in the journey they’re embarking on as husband and wife! Congratulations, you lovebirds! 😀

After the wedding, a bunch of us college friends met up for dinner at Tofu House in Centreville and caught up. I loved seeing everyone again; it felt like we never left Blacksburg!

So good seeing everyone!

 

Our time in Northern Virginia flew by, and I’m sad that we had to leave so soon. Hopefully we’ll be back again soon! 🙂
