Biggie and Alan Get Hitched!

My biggie got married this past weekend! I've been to weddings before (mostly with my quartet, so from a 'hired' perspective), but this was my first Chinese wedding since my aunt's, back when i was 8 or 9 years old. I will probably sneer at all other weddings from this point forth, including my own, because this was the most epic wedding/evening/bundle of fun...ever. Good things seem to come in twos for Alan and Diana, because this wedding featured:

• two open bars
• two lion dances (and a drum band)
• two newspapers covering their wedding (and a full page spread to follow is in the works apparently)

No big deal, besides the 600 guests and 12 course meal. Alan specifically stated on Facebook that people should not bother coming to the ceremony (the church only accommodates 200) and go straight to the open bar. We went to the ceremony anyway...what a wedding! Congrats Biggie and Alan, I'm so happy for you both!

Why we arrived early to the ceremony. Obv.

The beautiful bride!

The pastor was absolutely hilarious. He interrupted the processional and asked us if we were hot, because the air conditioning had been turned off. Silence. Doors open, and the bridal march begins...Diana walks down the aisle. Eyes turn to the front...pastor is gone to turn on the A/C. Awkward fidgeting for a minute, pastor returns, ceremony resumes.

Pretty. Too bad I didn't get to eat any!

Self explanatory.

Of course it wouldn't be complete without our lineage <3...

or Deephers! (of the way back past. So nice to meet you ladies!) I think from back-front, left-right it goes: Phi Alpha, Delta Omega, Delta Nu, Delta Xi, Delta Omicron, Delta Rho, and Delta I cant remember...???) whew.

With the newlyweds.

I have never seen this many Asian people get down.

Definitely one for the storybooks. Thanks for a great evening!
