So if you have been diligently reading the blog, you know that I had a pretty special wedding to attend this past weekend. It was also a wedding where I was actually standing and not coordinating. So it felt very weird for me. Usually I am in the back somewhere running around making sure things are perfect. Walking down the aisle, my heart was pounding and I tried to look as serene as possible and stared straight ahead. I hope I didn't look like a robot. Hahaha... But I will get into all that in the actual wedding day post. As with all weddings, first must come the rehearsal. And of course this particular rehearsal had to coincide with my big federal tax return deadline at work. I spend hours the day and night before pushing through the filing so I wouldn't be so crazed on the 15th. That's how much I love these two!! Hehehe... This is a super long post so I hope you all enjoy. Lots of pictures for those too lazy to read. That's right. I said LAZY! I can say that because they won't know I said it, since they are NOT READING!
I left the office at about noon and ran to the nail salon for a much needed pedicure. Can't have crusty toes when I am wearing strappy stilettos. Then I fled to Nordstrom to pick up some false lashes since I had no time to do my extensions. Blog Nazi picked me up and it was off to the burbs to pick up a projector from my pops to use for the wedding slideshow. Thanks Pappy! But first we had to stop by the oasis to grab food since we were both starving. See all the trucks in the picture above? Yep, oasis stop for the win! I had Panda Express and it was amazeballs. So we trucked it from the city, all the way to Gurnee, then off to Arlington Heights for the rehearsal at First Presbyterian Church of Arlington Heights in time for the rehearsal at 5. Luckily with no traffic, we got there at 4:30. Oh but wait, the rehearsal is at 6?!?!?! Yep, Blog Nazi and I had a whole hour and a half to ourselves at the church.
And here is what we did...
Dress - All Saints | Long Drape Vest (which you can't really see) - Winter Kate | Blazer - Wilfred | Bodycon Tank Dress worn as slip - t.babaton | Belt - Aritzia | Boots - Ash | Sunglasses - Oliver Peoples Apollonia | Scarf (which I ended up losing over the weekend... omg I just got so sad again) - Aritzia | Bangles and Bracelets - Urban Outfitters, LOFT, F21, David Yurman | Necklaces - Tiffanys, F21 | Watch - Michael Kors
Can we all please give a round of applause to Blog Nazi?! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP!!! He took some really amazing pictures this time. I guess he really wasn't THAT drunk at the photography class. And of course he had some coaching from yours truly. I think it is the most amazing thing that he has gotten into photography a little. At least enough to want to get a little more creative with his shots. Good job hunny bunny! Which ones were your favorite? Of course I had to jazz these up with some cool edits since I now have Lightroom! Woohoo! Lightroom is so fun. But now I also spend three times as long with my posts. There goes my sleep.
These next ones are taken by yours truly. =)
Drippy said he was hungry so he decided to bring Italian ice. Not sure how ice can help with hunger but okay, sure. So the guys were freezing outside and eating Italian ice at the same time. They about finished their frozen treat when they realized they probably should have eaten them inside. Ray was literally shaking while he was slurping down his watermelon Italian ice.
And here is the beautiful bride. Gosh Sanghee, you are so beautiful. Could you stop that? I hope you like the pictures babe. I did the best I could from where I was standing. Hehehe...
Daniel definitely knows how to pose for a candid shot. Poor Drippy is all the way at the end. Damn height order. Don't worry Drippy, I feel your pain. But one good thing about being at the end, we got to walk down together. I thoroughly enjoyed my J-Suh/DOS/Drippy sandwich.
Such beautiful mommies.
Sanghee's appa is so adorable. I swear that man has the sweetest face. He looked so proud and happy. =)
Pretty shoes alert! And pretty toes. Dang Sanghee, you got nice feet.
Ummmmm... hello model shot. I sense that this will become his profile picture soon. Hehehe... Best man indeed.
Joe has some really interesting flirting techniques.
Beautiful Ashley! You are soon to be part of the club. Congratulations to you and Petah! Your ring is fabu! I wish I got a much better shot of it. Next time!! Hooray for getting married in Chicago!! YAY!!!! I can't wait for you guys to move back! Please move back!!!! Peter is one lucky fella.
Whew! What a long post. I hope this helped you feel like you were there and I hope all these pictures didn't freeze up your computer/phone. Hehehe... next up will be the wedding post. I don't have very many pictures since I was standing. But I will share the ones I love. And I'll end the post with my absolute favorite shots taken by the hubs that day.

i DO read! :( hing..
my faves are the ones of you in the library, and the parents. then the drippy one with the blue sky in the background. OMG and the one with you reclining (at the church i guess), whether it was edited or shot like that, AMAZiiiing! it's bananas! it reminds me of a gucci ad (the llighting and the colors).
and is there a way to preserve the dslr quality but make it faster to upload? i always wondered abt that. anyway, good job chung photogs!
i didn't mean upload, i meant load. for viewing. maybe photography is your guys' next side career!
oh meows, ur so cute! gucci ad. hahahaha.. all those pics were at the church. seriously that church was so cute. too bad the pastor forgot the vows. worst ever! dunno about the faster to load thing. i've just been uploading my files through blogger, maybe it auto compresses? i always test on my phone to see how the loading is. so far so good. did it go slow for u??
you know that i didn't read shiet, right? jk, i skimmed, which is really good for me. I'm so scatterbrained that its not really possible for me to focus on a whole paragraph without going cross-eyed. forgive me. I'm sure you already said what boots you were wearing but, i love it! whose it by? i must get me a pair asap.
thanks alot, now i want italian ice.
tek is getting really good at taking pics! also, cute watch. mat recently bought me the same one in rose gold. love the rose gold!
thanks mon! i had to return it cuz it was defective. =( every time i set it, an hour later it would be off. booooooooooo. and they were out of stock so they couldn't replace it. i got it on shopbop. wah! gotta go get it a replacement somewhere else.
Really? That totally stinks! I will have to see if mine does that. He got it at Nordstroms. They had a bunch.
