  • Park Pictures and the 2.5 Hour Gap

    After the receiving line, there was plenty of time to take pictures of the family, friends, and of course Roger and me. I especially love the ones of us around the park with the swan boats in the background. Originally, I made reservations with the Swan Boats to take pictures on one, but I decided at the last minute, that I didn't want to do it. I thought it would be a hassle to cut everyone in line and stop business for a little bit while our photog took pictures of us just sitting on the boat. Pictures with the boats behind us were good enough for me. These following pictures were some of my favorites of the day.

    We were done so early that we were back at the reception venue way before our guests arrived. Before the wedding, I was worried there was too much time in between the ceremony and the reception. I worried about what our guests would do. I realized that making this change in my schedule was one of the best things we did since we took our time taking pictures, my DOC (Helen Fong - who was also my make-up artist) had plenty of time to set-up, and I could actually relax before I would see all the guests again. I actually don't know what all my guests did during the time. However, I know my co-workers caught a movie - Wall-E - hahah! I hope the gap wasn't a huge inconvenience on anyone.

    After I arrived at Hei La Moon, I got the chance to relax and SIT! My feet were already hurting a bit (since I rarely wear heels), but I could last for a few more hours. I also had the time to check out each table to see how everything was set up. Helen even touched up my make-up for me!

    By this time, everything was going as planned, and I was excited to start the night. I just couldn't wait for everyone to arrive and when people started showing up (early!) that's when the rest of the night flowed and the craziness ensued....
