Last Saturday, we attended Xiaoyi and Bochen’s beautiful wedding at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland! We’d never been to the gardens before, but it was a beautiful location full of flowers, perfect for the couple’s very colorful and lovely celebration! Xiaoyi is a dear friend from college, fellow graphic design major and we even worked together at the same media lab. I have so many wonderful memories with her, and was so happy to be able to attend and witness this happy occasion!
First kiss as husband and wife. Beautiful ceremony!

I loved seeing some of my favorite girlfriends again… 🙂 We’d just seen each other the previous weekend at Yoon’s wedding!
Love these girls!
Reunited and it feels so good!

There was so much entertainment throughout the wedding! A lion dance during the cocktail hour and a peacock dance, belly dance, and Chinese yoyo during the reception.

It was a beautiful day and we were so happy we could be a part of it! (Special thanks to my parents, who watched Mio for us while we were at the wedding.) We wish the couple a lifetime of happiness together! ♥
