結婚式: The Wedding
Half Moon Bay, California
January 1, 2004

On January 1, 2004, at the Hasting House gardens in Half Moon Bay California, I married my lovely wife. We were fortunate enough to have her parents, my late mother and my elder sister in attendance, and it was a truly wonderful occasion. After the ceremony, which was beautifully conducted by Judith Malear of Pacific Coast Weddings, we proceeded to the Ritz Carlton for dinner at the Navio restaurant. It was a very enjoyable evening for all, though the server constantly forgot to pour the wine for me! Overall, however, it was a lovely day for a lovely lady.

My wife and I would like to thank everyone for their efforts in making it a wonderful and memorable day for both of us, especially Judith, Linda Patterson of Hastings House, and Mark and Linda Rocha of Rocha Photography. We also would like to thank Le Grande Affaire Limousines for the excellent service in getting us to and from the ceremony and reception. In the following pages, I have posted some of the pictures from the ceremony. More photos will be posted later as I get time. Currently, only the thumbnails are posted, so clicking on the photos will only bring up an error message. However, I will have the full-size images up shortly.
