A Wedding to Remember...

Last Friday, Bill and I went to my co-workers wedding. The ceremony was at the Classical Chinese Garden and the reception was at the Jupiter Hotel in Portland. The event was really beautiful and FUN!

My co-workers fiance is part Chinese so they played on this theme throughout the wedding. The bridesmaids wore traditional Chinese dresses and carried open umbrellas instead of flowers. The bride had on a beautiful, yet whimsical white dress that came a little below the knee and had white polka dots on it with a brown sash around the waist. She also worked a very high pair of heels! I was most impressed. The ceremony was heartwarming with each writing their own vows and I have to admit that I shed a tear or two. The newly married couple was whisked away in a pedicart (bike with a carriage).

We reconvened at the Jupiter Hotel where the party was underway. The canopy was beautifully decorated with lanterns and lights and modern furniture. They had two signature drinks: a blue hawaiian (YUMMY) and a chocolate martini that went along with their blue and brown theme. The booze was flowing and everyone was having a good time. The happy couple was introduced by two Chinese dragons who proceeded to perform a ceremonius (I'm assuming this is what they did) dance for the married couple. It was definitely a highlight of the evening. They provided catered food from Noho's and a very nice looking cake. Unfortunately, I did not have any.

It was one of the best weddings that I have been too and once again, my other co-worker, Katie, got Bill onto the dance floor! I was wearing shoes with a heel that was slightly too high for me, so my feet were paying the price the whole evening and actually into the next day, and now that I think about it, now.

Congrats, Adrian and Georgia!
