Minhee & Terry

One of my last weddings in LA, was for none other than Minhee and Terry! This wedding meant a lot to me because not only was it for one of my best friends who I love and respect so much, but I was honored to be a bridesmaid, have my son be one of the ring bearers, help plan and have live.love.create coordinate the wedding. It was also significant because soon after this wedding, both Minhee and I moved out of state to begin the next chapter of our lives. I’m so glad that we could celebrate this milestone as well as adventure together, she in Missouri and I in Texas, as we support our husbands and enjoy married life! It’s also nice to have a friend in the same time zone!

After dating for almost a decade, I had been looking forward to finally see [how] Minhee & Terry tie the knot. They did not disappoint… what an awesome, laughter-filled, fun night it was! Not only was Minhee & Terry’s wedding beautiful, it was a day that really showcased who the two are as individuals and how they complement each other as a couple. I’m sure I can speak for everyone present that Minhee and Terry’s wedding will go down on their list of “one of the best weddings ever!” Many great friendships and memories were formed that night. 🙂

A memorable moment that still makes me laugh was during the ceremony. One of the geronimo balloons popped and Minhee let out a SCREAM which erupted into uncontrollable laughter! It really set the tone and only Minhee could create an environment that was so entertaining and touching at the same time. One thing’s for sure, no matter how tough a day Terry may have, he can always count on Minhee to bring a smile to his face. In turn, Terry is the perfect partner for Minhee. You may recall from the e-session post, how sweet and thoughtful he is. He really will do anything for this girl and I mean ANYTHING, like learn the “Gangnam Style” dance for a surprise performance! Minhee had us, the bridal party, learn the dance and perform too, but I was pleasantly surprised to see Terry’s willingness to do it for her and then to actually see him dance – and dance well! Lol! It was awesome!

Yishan & Mike

I’m obligated by school affiliation to harbor feelings of dislike for this couple, but it’s not possible to do so when they’re highly organized, have an eye for design and detail, and choose Marvimon as their venue!

Yishan & Mike are part of the Trojan family, and through multiple degrees of separation as friends of Christine’s on one side, as well as friends of Janet’s husband on the other, we were “recruited” to be a part of their team for their wedding day.  And we’re glad of it!  The energy level among their guests and the happiness evident in Yishan & Mike made their wedding so memorable. We love you guys!

Yishan & Mike partnered with friends from Viva La Art, a non-profit that works with artists to raise funds for various groups by hosting live art events and auctions, to raise awareness about the organization.  They made buttons for the work of a few of their favorite Viva! artists that their guests could collect.  We collected the whole set ourselves!
