• I Have A Lot of Accounting To Do Right Now

  But who cares because we got our engagement pictures back! Wanna see?! 

  
  In traditional Vietnamese outfit. Won refused to wear one because his friends told him it was a dress. Lol! I had mine custom made. Usually wedding Ao Dais have a wedding coat overlay but I decided to just make a really fancy one without the overlay so it’s more form fitting. Too bad the photos did not capture that the entire top was beaded with red and yellow crystals! It looks like just random spotty yellow designs. 

  My hair looks AHHHHHmazing thanks to my naturally hairyness (not always a great thing) and tons of hair extensions. EVERYONE looks better in hair extensions. For my business I used to advise bride to buy hair extensions for me to put in but people either were too lazy, did not think they needed it, or could not afford it so I had to do their hair without extensions and I always felt like it was lacking. Now I just up my price and INCLUDE extensions without asking for every one of my bride. Everyone LOVES it! Looks so much better! End hair rant.

  
  I like this! So romantic! I love Won in glasses so I made him wear them for at least one of the outfits! 

  
  Kiss me!! Syke!! Okay fine!!

  
  This pose was my idea. Our photographer was like, “SERIOUSLY!?” LOL!! I love it! So cheesey!! 

  

  His umma bought me a sexy han bok because I said I wanted a modern one. I altered it to make it fit tighter, got rid of the tacky shoulder straps, added boning so the dress stands on it’s own, and added the green trimming. I ended up loving it  

  
  I like this one. I imagine the conversation going something like… 

  ” Honey, let me take you on this nice romantic stroll.”

  ” Silly boy, princesses do not walk. Especially not outside.” 

  
  Here is Won whispering something dirty to me. I’m sure that was what it was. 

  
  Here is Won looking at my eyelashes. He is creeped out by my eyelashes and refuses to touch them. Does he not know I make a living by doing eyelashes!? 

  
  Here is Won being sexy. I purposely picked one short sleeve so he can show of his muscles and tattoo. I asked him to tattoo my name someday!! Hehe

  
  Welcome to our country dwelling!! Come inside our humble abode!

  

  How do we get across.. Hm..

  
  Our photographer asked if we’re supposed to be serious in the traditional Korean wedding attire. I don’t know if you’re supposed to even kiss! His umma told me if you don’t smile you will get a first born SON so she did not smile during her wedding. Lol we’re breaking all the rules! I can’t help it!! 

  We were lucky because it was raining all week and the one day we had our shoot scheduled, it was SUN SHINe!! Too bad everyone had the same idea because tons of people were in the Japanese Tea Garden which meant we had an audience. Way to make us feel more awkward. At first people were being sly and trying to casually take pictures of us on their Ipads. Then one woman asked if it was okay to take a picture then HOARDS of people lined up to take our pictures right next to our photographer. I am SURE there are tons of pictures of us floating around the internet. If you ever come across one, let me know! hahaha 

  A few weeks earlier, I had also scheduled a photo shoot with my mum! So she’ll have framed photos of us to look at once I move out. My mom hated pictures of herself because she felt fat and old and wrinkled and never looked at the camera or smiled. So when I worked with a photographer who specialized in taking beautiful natural woman portraits and making them look good through lighting and posing, I knew I had to do a session with my mom! 

  
  See my not as fabulous hair because I was without extensions. And because I did not have as many layers. After this shoot, I knew I needed a haircut for the engagement shoot. Long hair, need to care!

  

  For the first time ever my mom was so happy when she saw the photos! She looked amazing!

  

  It was frustrating choosing pictures to print because photos that I looked gorgeous in, my mom did not. And the ones that my mom looked good in, I did not. I ended up choosing the photos my mom looked good in since this was a present for her.

  And that’s a wrap! Stay beautiful everybody! And if you’re not, then get beautiful!
