hao's mom, ying, and i. The family purchased this dress for me on their last trip to China and i surprised them by wearing it for my bouquet & garter toss! 

my mom and i dancing. we both like to dance. a lot. 

hao being the DJ 

yes, we had glowsticks.

 we danced. a lot. it was kinda like middle school where the boys were on one side and the girls were on the other just having fun, lol. good times.

and things got a tiny bit crazy, in a good way.

so. much. fun.

{my dress is from english's bridal in clemmons. (website) i highly recommend them! they completely re-did my dress, at an excellent price!!}

so, this picture has extreme significance. ever since i was a little girl, all through out our life stages, my dad and i have posed like this for a picture.

all-in-all, i adored my wedding day. it was a beautiful process. and though it did not come without some upsets, as all weddings do, i would do it all over again, exactly the same way, in a heartbeat.
