Okay, okay, call me a slacker.....
A few weeks ago, Jay Neumark of Simply Wed Video emailed me the highlight video from Kellie McKendree and Randy Kwan's beautiful wedding ceremony and reception, and I neglected to post it here for my readers to enjoy! I'm sorry. It really is a beautiful video. Jay and his wife do wonderful work.
**added 10/12/08 - if the video doesn't launch, you may need to download quicktime**
Kellie and Randy were married on 8/8/08. In Chinese culture, 8 is a very lucky number. So, 8/8/08 is a very lucky set of numbers.
Their wedding ceremony was at First United Methodist Church in St. Augustine, with their reception just a couple blocks up the street at the Casa Monica.
Kellie and Randy hired me approximately 6 weeks before the big date. I had no idea at the time of the reason behind the date. Then, as I got to know Randy and his culture a little bit more, some other things came up, which I found of interest. Did you know that in Chinese culture, it is rude to hand someone a fan? Not just rude, let me rephrase that, it is HIGHLY OFFENSIVE. Don't do it. Kellie and Randy had beautiful teal fans at the church, but they were not handed out, they were simply left there for you to pick up, if you so chose.
That is why I love the work I do so much. I get to meet people from different cultures, backgrounds, places in the world & learn about them. I love meeting new people. I love watching how couples work together to bring their dreams of their future into reality. I truly do enjoy being a part of that.
until next time.....
EASY WEDDING PLANNING!
