When Pak and Mike were at the airport a couple of years ago, coming and going about there own lives little did they know they would run into the person that they would spend the rest of their lives with. It was that chance meeting in the airport that brought them to this day.
Pak was escorted down the isle by her Mom and Uncle, to her awaiting awaiting husband who stood there keeping the tears back. A few tears inevitably fell and as the as the minister stated, Pak was there to dry them. A sand ceremony symbolized the blending of two lives, two cultures, two histories, into one.
After a wonderful dinner the party got started with a tequila shot toast. In place of the traditional wedding cake, Pak and Mike shared cupcakes with each other and the guests made a mad dash for the rest of the cupcakes. (that was the quickest I've ever seen the cupcakes gone).
Kids were on hand at the toast as well with a shot of apple cider and a lemon slice.
Their first dance was a surprised dance they had learned just for the wedding. They were even running through the steps again in private before dinner. As nervous as they may have been for the dance it came off beautifully.
It was truly a great celebration. Hotel ABQ provided a great location, Mille Fleur provided the flower, and Savior Faire events provided the coordination. Everyone and everything came together for a wonderful evening.
