In case you were not aware, Lo-Lin and I had three, yes three, wedding receptions. We got married at the Denver County Recorder's Office and had events in Denver (Colorado), Moline (Illinois), and Kaohsiung (Taiwan). The final event was held on June 29, 2008 at the Lees Hotel near Lo-Lin's parents' home. We both knew this was a more formalized event, but the ceremony of it all was pretty extravagant. Upon entering in Dress and Suit #1, we were introduced by a gentleman that Lo-Lin's father knew. He spoke English, but I understand his Chinese better. ;) After the introductions, cake ceremony, champagne pouring, we finally got to sit and have a little bit to eat before we were rushed off to change into Dress and Suit #2. After changing, we came back down and were re-introduced - followed by going to every table and saying hello to everyone - all 250+ people. Immediately upon completion, we got to eat a little bit of food and then had to hand out chocolates to everyone..and boom. done.
The whole process was 2 hours: noon to 2 PM. No alcohol (ok, a bit of wine), and very little stress. We just wandered around. I was disappointed that I didn't get to eat a lot of the food BUT!!!! I got to have my thousand year old scallops and black chicken soup (the chicken is black meated; not just dark meat).
On to the pictures!
