It would be hard to find a groom that smiled more than Andrew. So many times throughout the day, even when no one was looking, I would catch him smiling. Under his breath, he would say, “I’m so happy,” like a giggling schoolboy on the best day of his life.
The newlyweds blended traditional Chinese elements into their modern American wedding. First, the bridesmaids made Andrew prove his worth with door games that left a groomsman with significantly less leg hair. Next, Andrew and Joanna, in her stunning red dress, served tea to the elders. In turn, they received red and gold envelopes. Afterward, Joanna changed into an equally impressive white wedding dress, and the evening progressed with a ceremony and dinner that would make any foodie jealous.
In addition to their traditional vows, Andrew and Joanna wrote vows for each other. Andrew now owes Joanna, another dog. Clever, but Speedy may not be on board with your new promises.
