Screenshot 1: Our bio's home page included links starting with how we met to the proposal to the wedding to where we are today and beyond. It really gives our family, friends, and viewers a feel for who we are as a couple and of course, a sense of what our wedding was like.

Screenshot 2: Our bio included explanations about both my Chinese & his Filipino wedding traditions. This really gives meaning behind some of the pics for those who may not know about these special customs (i.e. the Chinese tea ceremony, the role of the coin bearer, the Chinese wedding door games, etc.)

Screenshot 3: We included all our bride & groom formals. This was great for our out-of-town relatives, friends, & guests who couldn't make it to our wedding. It was a way to connect everyone to our special day.

I'm so sorry I wasn't here for the countdown last night! My husband and I were out to dinner and didn't get home till late! Anyhow, thanks for the daily smiles and holding on to the truth! =)

"we will, we will.. ROCK YOU (..know who)!!" hahahha thanks for all the laughs!!!! you always succeeded in reminding me how much fun this contest was meant to be!!! SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE!! *crossing fingers, too* XOXO

Before the clock strikes 12, I would just like to say to ALL you ladies (and you know who you are) that the best part of this whole crazy thing has been you guys! Little did we know when we all first entered this thing called The Knot Awards...all that would unfold. I have found some amazing new friends through all of this, and that is the most important thing I will take away from this experience =) The real winners are the ones who have treated others with respect and who have remained true to themselves and to what this competition should stand for. So cheers to all of you for 'keepin' it real!' ^_^
Apr 15, 2008
Girl, it has been a crazy journey!! But it has been so much fun. I am almost sad writing this because I am going to miss voting for you and commenting here every night- it is tradition! You are wonderful, and I am still rooting for you! Yay Yvette!!!
Apr 15, 2008
You, Jacquelyn, and Jessica have really been a blast! Your wedding was so beautiful and good luck in this contest! I hope you win and I will be voting for you :) Final 5!

Yvette just stopped by to send 5 hearts your way... I love the Adam Sandler song and your colors. Feel free to visit our web page too.
Apr 10, 2008
Hello dear, I'm here to give you your much deserved 5 hearts for the day. I am soooo curious to hear what you found out, I totally wish we could chat privately. I get so discouraged with this contest sometimes, but now I realize, it's no big deal! Like I told Jackie, I don't even think I get whatever channel the Knot plays on! Anyway, thank you so much for your support. I have to tell you, I watched your website again yesterday and looked at somethings I had not seen yet. I seriously cried it was so beautiful. You have some amazing images of what was a incredibly beautiful memory and no matter what, you always have that. OK, enough of the cheeziness! 5 HEARTS for you!!!
by Jacquelyn Do
Apr 9, 2008

Five hearts all the way girl- keep it strong! You are like the sole survivor of the voting carnage right now haha!
Apr 6, 2008
Do you realize we both have 'plan it / doin' it' in our siggies on the knot? I love you even more ;)

Apr 4, 2008
Hi Yvette! Sorry havent logged in...but I visited your site today and you two look amazing! Definately my fav! I've also forwarded your site to my friends and family! xoxo
Apr 3, 2008
I concur! The whole thing is so hilarious to me!!! I love your photos and love that you have a place to share them with others- yay for technology!!!!

by Emily Baer

So awesome! You two are too cute, and I love all the photos you have on your website. The black and white ones from your wedding day are great, so good! There is so much fun information on there! Oh and just since you asked, my husband does do a bit of graphic design for his company, but not much...it's sort of a side thing. He loves creating things and it shows through in his work. Thanks so much for your comments and good luck to you two!

yvette, jessica, and katie- the knot seriously needs to get a chat room bc if they get a clue after this contest, they'll know that comment boxes alone are sOOOoo not working. wanted to let you know that i've been traveling with my husband and desperately trying to get to get to a computer. of course, when he found out what it was for he just about rolled his eyes off his head!! you girls are the funniest! after reading your comments i feel like i can win the position for Presidency! LOL. thanks for all the encouragement, i'll certainly look into what you've suggested! hope all is well! gonna vote for you every time i'm at the computer! like NOW!!! =)
Apr 3, 2008
Gorgeous website! I loved how well organized and detailed it is. Beautiful, beautiful pictures. I love it. Lovely in every way. Congratulations for making it to the finals and all the best to you - and 5-stars from me :)

I am so glad you made it into the finals!! Congratulations! I've been voting for you :) If I have it my way I'll vote you and Jacquelyn right into the finals!! Haha. Best of luck- you deserve it!
Apr 1, 2008
congrats on making the finals! I love your banter about the photo finals- let's start a private photo cool kids club where we are all winners in our books!!!!
by Jacquelyn Do
Apr 1, 2008
LOL! you're a total riot! i was just saying to bianca that its been totally fun just having the experience of entering a contest. what's so bad about 12,000+ people seeing our wedding pics. that'll probably be the largest audience my husband and i will ever have! getting a feature in a mag would be sOOooO cool but it's kind of like winning a new car. i'll take, i'd love to have it, but i'm also happy with the one i have. so my poor husband will just have to make up for the large audience we had on the knot, all by himself. he's a LUCKY man! =P you've got my 'hearts' supporting you girl!!!
Apr 1, 2008
Yipee! Now the real competition starts. I am rooting for your website, and Jacquelyn's and Emily's. Yours are the real standouts by a huge margin in this category. Just my humble opinion ;)
Good luck!
Mar 31, 2008
I just wanted to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to all those who voted for us...our family, friends, strangers, and lovely brides! Best of luck to everyone in this competition! Let's just end this and declare all 15 finalists winners =) I know everyone worked just as hard at creating their webpages as I did! We ALL deserve 5 hearts for effort!!!
by Jacquelyn Do
Mar 31, 2008

what's up chica! can't believe what's happened! our wedding planner had encouraged me to enter our website into the contest and our picture entry was an after-thought. i'm certainly shocked and excited how things have turned out. but look at YOU! i knew when i first saw your website that it was a WINNER! hope you take the prize!!!
