Just Married!

Today I am very lucky to attend my friends Yicheng and Sheryl's wedding. These two love birds have known each other since 12 years old (in junior high) and have been together for years. I had heard them talking about getting married for months, but nothing happened. Right when I started to worry if the two were getting cold feet, my invitation came. So I packed my camera equipments and flew to South Cal.

The civil ceremony was held in the Laguna Hills civic center, at 10am. We arrived at 9:30. Like every couple before the wedding, my friends were nervous and worried if things would go wrong. A clerk with black rimmed glasses quietly did the paper work then told us to wait in front of a door. I thought she's going to grab the minister.

To my surprise, she just put on a black robe and instantly transformed herself to a bona fide minister. "You must be kidding", I thought. Well, apparently not. Before I even realized what's happening, she opened the door and we were ushered to a very nicely decorated wedding chapel. Immediately the wedding started.

From now on things were happening really fast. My attention was on the photo shoot, but I could still hear my friends exchanging vows with shaking voices, tears in eyes. No matter how many weddings you attend, they are always moving.

Now I will let the photos do the talking. I hope you share the couple's happiness and don't forget to vote NO on prop 8 if you can.
