This wedding was epic. Not just because it was in beautiful Barbados. Or that Julia and Brian are both fabulous. But as you will soon see....even with just a handful of guests, they knew how to make a memorable party. Well, if they remembered anything at the end of the night at all, that is!

It was a gorgeous, sunny day with blue skies as the bride and groom prepared for their special day at Silver Point Hotel in Barbados. As the girls got done up in their charming, yellow dresses, the guys decided to put on their football jerseys and throw the groom in the ocean. And thus began the first of many surprises of the day. Their ocean-side ceremony was pleasantly interrupted by some unexpectedly high tides slipping through their ceremony tent, surprising quite a few guests with wet feet. And even though the entire program lasted nothing but 8 minutes, surprisingly, all the bridesmaids (and the bride) were in tears by the end of it. Even more surprising was how emotional both Julia and Brian got when they danced with their parents! As the night progressed, shirts came off, beer was spilled, and by the end of the evening, a dozen of them ended up in the swimming pool. Surprise. And then....they brought out the beer funnel. As well as the father of the bride (who seriously rocked this wedding). What happened next was nothing but epic.

We've been flying to a new city every weekend this summer--this time, we're bringing the passports! We still remember how excited we were when Beatrice and Dustin invited us to La Romana, Dominican Republic for their destination wedding. It was an all-inclusive getaway for a few dozen of their closest family and friends, who were all greeted with hugs, gift bags, and a brand new pair of flip flops. The happy couple made sure everybody was there to have a splendid vacation together, but most importantly, that they would be there to witness their lovely beach-front wedding and celebrations. They had an intimate, candlelit reception on the seaside deck, where Dustin also learned a few (important) Cantonese phrases to use with his new wife!  Thanks for having us there to celebrate with you!

We LOVE Hawaii! Macadamia nut pancakes, sea turtles, amazing coffee, beautiful beaches, extraordinary weather, and one of the best places to go on vacation. Oahu is at the top of our favorite places in the world. Of course, we weren't there (just) for vacation, but when you're in a place like that, it's hard not to feel like it! Jiwon and Eddie tied the knot on this dreamy island and celebrated their love with their closest friends and family at the gorgeous Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki. It was a joyful, emotional, and, in Eddie's words, "glorious" day--we couldn't be happier for the two of them! They have been rocking the photos since their engagement session in Urbana-Champaign, and this time, it was epic. So folks, prepare to be amazed.
