COMPLETELY Married!

That's it. Marriage #4 is in the can.
And, BOY, was it a doosy!!! This one was a BIG banquet in Chicago. 450 guests. 1 table for reporters/journalists! 2 more lions dances, a SUPER talented 7 year old violinist (she's soooo adorable) a dancer, a few singers. And a palanquin!

What's a palanquin, you ask?!?

It's a traditional chinese bridal carriage. Carried by 4 guys. It's a rough ride... so said Lina. We even went through the "kicking the door" ceremony in front of the audience. Felt like a play. Was in all good fun.

My wedding gown also got upgraded since the Vancouver banquet. Got a big traditional red bow tied around me. We made the newspaper!

Man, are we exhausted! Now.. onto our honeymoon. Paris/London: here we come.

Again... sorry. I'm sure you're interested in the pictures. They're to follow. Just too much to sort out. 8D



The SingTao Chicago paper August 30, 2006 edition. Front page! This was first of 5 papers! haha ... I think we're gonna be on the local news too. We're famous!!!!



















An awesome cake topper (and a cake made of towels) made by my sister, Lillian! She's sooOOooo Martha Stewart!









Some of my Vancouver family (sans 4 of them) that flew over to Chicago just for our wedding!!!






This has GOT to be the funniest wedding gift EVER! (almost as bad as our vancouver wedding favors! LOL) It came with a Dominick's gift card. NOTE: Names has been blurred to protect the innocent(gifter).
