Congratulations, Karen and Michael!

I had the privilege to oversee Karen and Michael's cross-cultural Chinese-Canadian wedding on August 7, 2010. They were, in short, the essence of chill! My assistant and I were stunned at how everything went ultra smooth. Everyone was on time, everyone knew what they were doing and the bride and groom kept their calm demeanor throughout the entire evening. The only minor blip was when 1 of the 2 Chinese ribbon dancers fell ill shortly before the performance. But with a little negotiation between myself, the bride and the client, it was resolved quickly and painlessly.

Their ceremony was held at the immaculate Trinity College Chapel in downtown Toronto, following by their reception at Spot 33 at the Sutton Place Hotel. Muchos thanks to Erica for being my right-hand woman that day. :)

Fuschia, pink and purple flowers on top of a tall vase made their centerpieces. The small double happiness symbol on the front added a personal cultural touch.
