Nuptials!

This would be how I found our bride this past Saturday, when I wandered into the Harvard Club in NYC as an elite member of Yu-Chen's wedding party.

I smiled and thought about how lovely her skin would look on her wedding day.

Little did I know:

Mine was in for the same treat.

Our preparations paid off, and by the time we got to the church 

each and every one of us looked as radiant as the roses we carried,

and as elegant as could be in our delicately flowing lavender dresses.

Yu-Chen and Eric said their I do's during a simple and beautiful ceremony,

and I was personally grateful for the lack of tripping down the aisle--a phenomenon I was almost positive would happen in my rather high 

(but oh so pretty) heels.

We left the church as the drizzling rain wished the couple good luck and the gathered crowd wished them good wishes,

climbed into our limos,

and made our way to Central Park for a brief photo session (umbrella included)

and a soiree at a nearby hot dog stand for the famished bride and groom.

After some fun pictures upon our return to the book-lined halls of the Harvard Club,

it was time to party

(under the auspices of this giant elephant head and his wild-creature friends...),

and so I made my way through the tables laden with delicious food and delectable drink on my rather high (but oh so pretty) heels  in order to find my department friends,

to share in the celebration together.

After some good eating/talking/laughing,

we entered the dining room for more food,

more fun,

more laughter,

more love.

Congratulations to Yu-Chen and Eric--
thanks for a special and beautiful day!
