Celebrating with Chris and Melinda

This past week, we were fortunate enough to travel to New Haven, CT for Chris and Melinda's wedding. Besides getting to see the beautiful east coast, we were so happy to be reunited with our law school friends! It was a wonderful celebration!

The wedding could not have been more perfect. Chris and Melinda exchanged vows on the beach, with the ocean and an iconic light house as their backdrop. The ceremony was in the heat of the day, but they were well prepared, with fans and straw hats presented on each guests' chair. I loved how they subtly incorporated both Asian and American cultures into their wedding decor. The reception pavilion was just a few steps away from the sand, and a faint ocean breeze kept the temperature pleasant for the cocktail hour and reception.

The reception was just as lovely as the ceremony. Sheer drapes cascaded from the ceiling along with white globes hanging for aesthetic contrast. Candles and strings of lights illuminated the reception after the sun set. And the table center pieces were simply green and white hydrangeas, elegant and sophisticated. For a pop of color, they placed pink tissue paper flowers on each place setting and displayed fun monogramed sunglasses at the top of each charger as their guest favors. We dined along side of a beautiful carousel, that we thoroughly enjoyed riding after dinner.

The food was delicious and the drinks top shelf. But the best part of all was getting to spend time celebrating with Chris and Melinda. We had so much fun talking, dancing and being goofy with them on the dance floor! They were so thoughtful to all their guests and even had a brunch for us the next morning where we could spend more time together.

It was such a joyful celebration!
