Dan and I had the honor of attending our friend Jina’s beautiful wedding earlier this month at Morais Vineyards & Winery in Bealeton, Virginia. It was a gorgeous venue, and the couple’s attention to detail really showed through in how stunning everything looked.
Congratulations to the happy couple! Thank you for inviting us to be a part of your special day, and best of luck in your new life in Korea and eventually California!
Yesterday was a very special day for our family, as my younger brother Ted got married to his girlfriend of four years, Elisa! Their wedding was at beautiful Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna. I had the honor of being a bridesmaid in the wedding, and it was great being a part of the lovely celebration of the happy couple’s love!
The cake-cutting!
The whole wedding was a beautiful celebration that reflected Ted and Elisa very well. We wish them the best in their new life together as husband and wife. Welcome to the family, Elisa! Congratulations to the couple on this wonderful start to their happily ever after. ♥
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!
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! ♥
One of my dearest friends and college roommates got married last weekend to her longtime sweetheart Eric! The beautiful wedding was at a gorgeous estate near Lynchburg, Virginia. We left Mio with my sister and parents for the weekend, and Dan and I made the 3.5 hour drive down to have a relaxing and memorable weekend celebrating with our friends! Here are some photos from the lovely wedding ceremony and reception…
Heartfelt congratulations to the wonderful couple Yoon and Eric! We were so honored to be a part of wedding celebration and to witness the beginning of the rest of their life together as husband and wife. ♥
I can’t believe it’s already October! The end of September just flew by, as the past few days have been pretty busy. On Thursday evening, we met up with my cousin’s husband Devin who was visiting from Arizona on business. It was his first time meeting Mio, and it was great catching up since the last time we saw him two years ago, and hearing about how my cousin Yuko and their kids were doing. Hopefully we’ll have a chance to see Yuko, Beni-chan and Sakura-chan soon! I’m sure Mio would love them, too.
Friday evening, my sister and I met up with friends in Silver Spring, Maryland, to watch the Japanese rock band B’z perform live in concert!
On Saturday, we drove down to Richmond to attend our friend Stephanie and Danny’s wedding! Before we left, we dropped Mio off with a family friend in the morning so they could watch her for much of the day. They have a daughter who is only 2 months older than Mio, so I heard that they played very well together while Dan and I were in Richmond!
What was supposed to be a two hour drive ended up taking longer due to a huge funeral procession that was on I-95, but we made it just in time for the ceremony, which was held at the beautiful Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in the heart of Richmond. (Apologies for the poor picture quality — I only had my phone with me to take pictures!)
The cocktail hour and reception were equally beautiful — the venue was lovely and all the food was so delicious!
Sunday was devoted to spending lots of quality time with Mio, as I hadn’t gotten to spend any time with her Friday evening and all of Saturday.
