A few posts ago, I mentioned I went to a couple of weddings
in August. I love being a part of wedding celebrations! I can’t help but smile
when I think of white dresses, dancing, flowers, family, food, drinks, and
dessert.

My Aunt Lindsey got married to the lovely Oliver this year
on August 11th. The ceremony was very touching with beautiful vows. I loved
catching up with family and having the whole Wong family in one place. After
pictures, everyone headed to the reception. My family and I sat at table
twenty-one (the cool table). In between the kissing, dancing and diving for the
flower bouquet, I got to eat the yummy cupcakes they served as their “wedding
cake”. Before I said my good-byes and congratulations, everyone got to bring
their little sacks and fill them with trail-mix. Yummy!

The next wedding I went to was my best friend’s, Susie’s,
wedding. Susie married Eddie on August 18
th, 2012. I was the maid of
honor, so I set up the Bridal Shower with help from Naomi, Christine and my
good friend Aya.

I was all sorts of worried about how the Bridal Shower would
turn out, but it was a successful. The decorations and favors turned out
amazing. Plus the games were great and everyone loved the prizes. Don’t forget
dessert! You know me, I had to have a dessert table.

Aya and I did a ton of hunting online when it came to
decoration ideas. We both love cutesy things. Since we were planning things in
different places, we collaborated on
Pinterest. (
Link to our board.) I think we
used just one of those ideas. Go figure, right?! We did the “
Firefly Christmas Lights” in the colors of the Bridal Shower. It looked amazing!

Congratulations again to the lovely newlyweds: Lindsey &
Oliver and Susie & Eddie.
