High School Sweethearts tie the knot!!


Submitted by: Virginia Yu (bride)
Wedding date: 06/23/2007
Wedding location: Los Verdes Golf & Country Club, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Kenneth and I dated for 11 years before we finally tied the knot. We met when I was 16 and he was 17. Since then we have been inseparable. One of our favorite things to do together is snowboard. So to bring that element in to our wedding, we decided to have a snowboard sign-in. I designed a logo with our names and transferred it on to a white snowboard. We had sharpie's in pink, green and brown for our guests' to sign with.

I am the owner of a small design studio (www.designsbyyu.com) who specializes in custom handmade invitations and stationery so I went nuts designing different elements for our wedding. These wedding programs were handed to our guests along with a bottle of water with a custom label also designed by me.

We had alternating dark and white chocolate dipped strawberries at each guests' seat.

I especially had fun designing our centerpieces & favor boxes. We had vases filled with 3 different types of pink & green candy (strawberry & green apple mentos, melon & apple rings, and strawberry daiquiri & margarita jelly belly). There were empty favor boxes for guests' to fill the sweets in. Our goal was to have guests' mingle amongst each other so we had different candies at different table. It was a success! The centerpieces also doubled as our table numbers.

This is my wedding gown. I fell in love with the first time I saw it. It is a strapless bodice decorated with multi-color floral lace contrasted by a multi-gathered unadorned skirt.

The most fun I ever had at a wedding other than my own. It would've been perfect except for the best man speech, I don't know what that guy was thinking.

5 Stars across the board. The little details carried throughout the ceremony and reception showed...color-themed centerpieces, coffee creamers, snowboard, punch, invites, snowboard, sand ceremony. The neat touches: bride escorted on golf cart, groom and party wearing tan sneakers....very touching and funny toast given by bride's father.....and the COUPLE spent time to mingle with guests. But this wedding was not just about outward appearances, they have true love for one another and for God.

A Wedding so sharp it could have been on HDTV. Outdoor weddings can be difficult because it is impossible to control the weather, but I guess you had some help from the man upstairs.
