It's 2011! Happy New Year! Our family celebrated Jan 1, 2011 with a wedding that we've been waiting so, so, so long for. It was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. My Aunt Lana and her husband Ken were married on New Year's Day in front of family and friends at Midway Church, followed by a reception at Crown Plaza.
The wedding was planned literally...Less than 3 months before the actual day. How did they pull it off?! I don't know! Let's just say that it was a New Year's Miracle. With the help of all 6 bridesmaids, 6 groomsmen, aunts and uncles, we were able to set up all the decorations and the flowers. Yes, we made the flower arrangements. It was super busy days before the wedding but it all turned out fabulous. Thanks for everyone's help! Here are some lovely photos from their wedding day. Everyone has been waiting for almost 25 years for this monumental day! Congratulations!

It was so hard to get everyone smiling all at the same time! This is the whole bridal party.

The day started out at the house where the groom "picked up the bride". There was a short Vietnamese ceremony followed by a quick mini brunch. We all rushed to the church (and arrived late..my bad) but the bridal party made it time to walk down! After that ceremony, we came early to the reception hall, changed, and got ready to PARTTTAAAAAYYYY!

I feel like my blog will soon be a wedding blog. I have so many weddings to go to this year!
