We were honored to be guests of our Cousin Edward's sister, Judy's, wedding ceremony and reception. The church is one of the oldest Christian churches in Hong Kong. From the pictures, you can see the renovations and more modern facades. The ceremony was quite special as Judy and Byron returned to the altar after the processional to give thanks to those who attended. It is also customary to have a photo of the entire group of guests (picture not available yet) and was taken from the balcony of the church.
The interesting story of the newlyweds was that both of them met while working with HK immigration. The interesting part is that none of their colleagues new they were dating let alone getting married until the invites were sent to them. One of Judy's colleagues, when hearing that an office mate was getting married and asked if Judy was going to the wedding, her reply was that, "yes...I'm the one getting married."
Both of them are kind and warmhearted and make a wonderful couple. We enjoyed Dim Sum the day after the wedding with them and their honeymoon travels will begin in Bankok and end in the Maldeves.
Best wishes on a long, healthy and prosperous marriage!
