SDE: John + Chrissie – 16 October 2010 by Daniel Lei Studios

October 16 has come and gone. It feels weird to finally have it over and done with–after all the last minute preparations and sleepless nights, the day actually went by in a blur. It was a happy day, as evinced by the wide smiles not only on our faces, but those on our guests as well.

Song: Stole my Heart by Little & Ashley

For those who weren’t there, allow me to share this video so you can feel what we felt that day. If you were there, allow me to share this as well, so we may relive that happy day together.

Much love and gratitude goes to Daniel Lei Studios: Lei, Joannie, Pau, Remy and the rest of the crew, for the wonderful same day edit video and photos.

P.S.
No. Aki and Junpei did not get married. They were only cosplaying. So there.

One thing I’m seeing a lot lately in weddings is the addition of stuffed toys in the flower girl’s basket. At times, some couples even skip the basket and just give the flower girls stuffed animals with flowers on them.

After carrying their basket of flowers around, the little girls are rewarded with a stuffed animal they can keep for themselves. I’m sure the little girls love them. I know I would. So, off we went to shop for a stuffed animal for our flower girl, Astrud.
