Like most brides on their wedding day, Sue and her maids started at the crack of dawn with their hair and make-up.
And what a fine job by the stylist.

Some of the bridesmaids also pitched in with the make-up. Carmen has the precision of a heart surgeon.

Some final touches.

One last check in the mirror.

Plus the dress and the heels.

Can’t forget the rings.

Ta-da! Doesn’t she look beautiful?

Meanwhile, our groom, Bo has been patiently waiting in the limousine for his cue to enter the bride’s residence.

All prepared and smiling with confidence.

While we wait, I got a couple of photos of the groom and his groomsmen.

Finally gained entry into the house. However, there’s more. Bo has to prove that he is worthy to take Sue as his wife by completing a series of tasks the bridesmaids had cooked up for them.

Trying to pin the apples against the wall. Which was easy, since he used the same technique on Sue once or so I heard.

Then it was everybody’s favorite– Seeing who looked better with a bra on. The men thoroughly enjoyed this one.

This one was hard. Finding red M&M’s in a dish of whipped cream using only his mouth. What a sport!

After all that, the bridesmaids finally got their red envelope from the groom. However, they weren’t that impressed by the sum.

The bridesmaids were kind enough to let Bo through anyway.
As soon as he saw her, well– he showed his love in his own way.

After the wedding party had their hours of fun and laughs,
the parents of the bride quickly carried out with what really matters in an asian wedding.
The tea ceremony and the gifts. And gifts and gifts and gifts.

Who wouldn’t be smiling like that when one is all blinged out?!

Her first bite to eat of the day.

Getting ready to head down to the limousine. Bo kindly helped Sue put on her heels. How sweet is that.

Some fun shots in the limousine while we were all waiting in the car for the rain to stop before taking photos on the Bay Ridge promenade.
Unfortunately, the rain never stopped at all that afternoon. So they just got back to partying in the limo

No he is not drunk. Just tired. Apparently he didn’t get much sleep the night before. I wondered what happen.

Finally, the rain did stop for a bit and we decided to go for some outdoor photos.
I was amazed at how Sue and her bridesmaids were able to keep their dresses from getting dirty. Good job girls!

And did I mention that it was also very cold and windy? These girls were brave.

Let’s get back into the limo and head to the banquet hall.

Here are some photos showcasing some of the beautiful decor and delectable dishes Sue and Bo have chosen for their guests that night.

Let the party begin! Here come the newlyweds, Sue and Bo Chen.

They start off with a beautiful first dance.

Then followed by the wedding party with their dances.

Some poignant moments. Always my favorite kind of moments to capture.

Sue said… LET’S PARTY!!!!

And here’s how Sue tossed her bouquet to the next bride-to-be.

Making the rounds, around the banquet hall to thank everyone for joining them in celebrating their special day.

Once again, Congratulations to you both.
