Jon and Stacy's Wedding in St Louis


After my trip to Israel, I was home just long enough (1.5 days) to unpack, do laundry, then repack to head to St Louis for Emily's brother's wedding. This is why I have been so slow to get these posts up.....things are happening faster than I can write! But I guess it is a good problem to have. :) We had an awesome time in St Louis visiting with family and enjoying all the wedding festivities.

The rehearsal dinner was a 12 course traditional Chinese meal including lobster....we ate like kings

traditional Chinese tea ceremony at the house: each couple is served tea from the bride and groom in exchange for gifts and jewelry

Em got emotional at the tea ceremony - so happy for her little brother!

at the ceremony in Forest Park - the lawn in the distance was decorated with a flag commemorating each of those lives lost in 9/11 (the ceremony was on 09/10/11 - a day before the 10 year anniversary)

Congrats Jon and Stacy - we are so happy for you both and wish you a lifetime of love!
