Because of this turn, I decided to add a First Look to the wedding

Wearing our simple short wedding dresses will allow you to achieve just the look you wanted. Take time to drink in these spectacular collections!

I hadn't seen Alice in her white dress before the wedding, which made it all the more special when we first met on the wedding day. The hand-holding at the First Look before the turnaround evoked all our expectations and excitement for the wedding, which was really beyond words. Turning around and seeing how beautiful and touching she was made me both surprised and touched, I couldn't even say the words. --Groom Jun

Love Story

Alice: He was my senior in college three years older than me, but we didn't get to know each other until 2008 when I went to graduate school on the East Coast of the United States. We started our love on a Boston/New York trip, and it was then that I felt I met the right person, the one who made my heartbeat.

Later for various reasons, we embarked on a six-year long-distance love affair. The biggest right surprise in a long-distance relationship is to survive the ordeal with you, who is far away, together.

Proposal anecdote

Jun: On the fifth anniversary of our long-distance relationship, I felt that our relationship needed a breakthrough and a chance to go the long way, so I decided to propose to her during our trip to Spain.

My first challenge was how to avoid her accidentally finding the ring in my luggage, so I made a booklet of our itinerary intending to satisfy her curiosity and at the same time distract her with a sound bite. Of course, I also found a good place to hide the ring, which was wrapped in a small bag in my suitcase (haha~).

Alice: He proposed to me on our trip to Spain, in a hilltop church overlooking the whole of Barcelona at dusk.

At that time, he asked, "Will you marry me?" I was so nervous, and then I cried because I had waited so long for this moment. Of course, I said yes to him, and in the church, he gave me a big hug and whispered to me, "We are a family now.

Wedding Venue

Since we are both in the design business, we wanted a chic and unique cozy wedding. It wasn't hard for us to decide on a venue because when we first went to Yan's Ranch, we fell in love with it at the same time! Even if it took some extra effort to invite our guests to the faraway Yan's Ranch for our wedding, Jun and I thought it was worth it.

Wedding Design

Wedding style: outdoor American style

Wedding color scheme: yellow, white

After deciding on the venue, we spent a lot of time deciding on our theme design and planning the wedding details to make sure we had a memorable wedding. It took a lot of effort to communicate with our planner and give her special reference pictures of what we wanted to feel, to let the planner understand our ideas and wedding feeling more visually.

I'm thankful that the wedding ended up looking exactly the way we wanted it to look, even the clothes we wore matched our theme!
