Can You Feel the Love Tonight: All the Pretty Little Details

We never got to see the reception all dressed up before people started getting there. Neither did the photographer. Fortunately, we had my friend Laura take some pictures for us so that we could get the full effect after.

Our Tables, Named after All of the Streets We Have Lived on Together

Escort Cards via Clothesline. Not the most original idea but still cool.

This is Number Three of the Three Things That Still Bother Me about the wedding. Fortunately, I didn't find out about it until the next day. See how both cards have the name in the bottom right corner? On this side, they look identical. The place card was supposed to have the name in the middle and no street sign since duh, the place cards don't need to have the sign on them since the sign is on the table! Anyway, I went to great pains to make sure there was a different escort card and place card for everybody, and I was really angry to discover someone had fucked it up anyway. I should have taken the wrong ones out of the box, but it never occurred to me that this would get messed up! After all, there were two of every card for each person, but only some people had two cards that looked like this. Anyway, I know I shouldn't let it get to me, but I put so much work into it and got so stressed over getting it right before that it does really bother me that it still got messed up.

We were able to incorporate Sabrina and Kim's awesome gift box as an extra card receptacle. And a good thing we did! The Nom Monster filled up quick.

And the Nom Monster in all his nommy glory! I don't have a picture with his sign in it, unfortunately, but it says, "Give me your cards! Nom nom nom!"

Those are the reception details, but while we're on the subject, there are some other details that don't really have a place, so I'll throw them up here too. All of the following photos are by Stephen Cheng.
