    Van & Won Wedding
    We were only 10 minutes late to church! It took a very long time to stuff my dress into the car :(

    Because little babies are sooo cute!  During rehearsal we didn’t think any of the kids would be able walk come the morning of the wedding. But surprise, surprise! All four of them walked so beautiful.. that is until they got to where their parents were sitting, then they started climbing over peoples in the pew to get to their parents. LOL

  • Getting Ready for Our Wedding (photos!)

    I would post the whole wedding but I can’t figure out how to post a lot of photos at once :( So I’l do a little bit at a time. First up, our getting ready photos (by Junshien International)!

    Christina helping my bridesmaids get ready! Christina was awesome and I am officially forever indebted to her! She helped with hair & makeup, with baking our wedding cupcakes, with editing our photos, with being a great friend. If you read this, I hope you know I would do the same for your wedding day ;)

    Some detail shots. What kinda sucks is.. I get people ready for a living. That means I set up the morning schedule for when the photographer/videographers get there. I time it so that everyone is super relaxed and pretty much done by the time the crew arrives so that there is plenty of time for staged shots and details. But for my own wedding it was EFFIN’ MAD in that hotel room. No cute robes, no cute champagne toasts, no cute anything. It was NOT cute. It was the most stressful part of my day, which makes me sad because every wedding I do, I make sure that this does not happen but I couldn’t help myself :(

    My beautiful bridesmaid secretly fixing my dress. I say secretly because she kept running around asking everyone for certain things and when I asked what was wrong she would say, “nothing. nothing.” My bridesmaids were so sweet! Wanted to keep everything bad away from me so I wouldn’t stress :)

    Stopping to smell the roses! Fun fact: there were no roses in my bouquet because I don’t like roses and asked for them to not be included.

    I inherited that dimple from my dad! For the longest time I was jealous he had one but I didn’t. Ta-da! It showed up on me now!

    Van & Won wedding Van & Won Wedding Won’s card read, “Dear Booger.” And then I cried!

    And THAT was the start of our morning! Stay tuned for more :)

    …. and I just realized there are no photos of Won’s handsome face. Har har.

  • Can You Love A Criminal?

    Sometimes on crime shows, agents arrest the bad guy only to realize these people only claimed to be the bad guy while they were covering up for their husband/wife. I always wondered if I had that type of marriage.

    The other day Won and I went grocery shopping and I needed ONE thai chili pepper but they were sold in a pack of about 50 for about $2. I only needed ONE though so Won pinched a package and stole ONE pepper for me (It was my idea). I was nervous the whole time and thanked him for risking his freedom for me! Won laughed saying it’s ONE pepper. It was the perfect time to bring up this subject.

    I decided to start small.
    “Would you still love me if I was a criminal?
    “I just committed a crime for you didn’t I?”

    Hm… good point

    “Well, what if I was like, a murderer? Not a serial but someone pissed me off so much I killed them. Can I call you?”
    “……-____-….”
    “Well, can I !? Will you help me dispose of the body?”
    “Who else would do it?”

    Hm… so far so good.

    ” But what if they traced it down to me! Will you take the blame for me?!”
    “Of course.”
    “Really?!? You’ll be going to jail for me.”
    “Of course, you think you’ll last even one hour in jail?”
    “But won’t you be mad at me?”
    “Yea”
    “But you’ll still go for me?”
    “Yea.”

    Hm… this is going better than expected.

    “Does that mean I have to treat you good while you’re in there?”
    “Of course, conjugal visits.”
    “But you don’t want me to be happy out here?”
    “What the hell? I went to jail for you! You have to be with me forever!”
    “Fine, can I least have your insurance?”
    “You don’t get insurance for going to jail.”

    ……

    “Do you think I would go for you?”
    “I think we both know the answer to that.”
    “Do you expect me to cover for you at least?”
    “Yea, but I know you won’t.”
    “Yea, I’d probably turn you in peacefully.”
    “What the hell?”
    “Fine, let’s just agree… if you do anything… DON’T TELL ME about it.”
    “Agree.”
    “….. But I saw you steal the pepper….”
    “But it was for you!”
    “Fine.”

    And here is a sneak peek of our official wedding day pictures. Bonnie and Clyde, yes we are.

    “Yes baby, I’ll go to jail for you.” Sweet nothings <3

  • In Our Sleep

    Won is deeply sleeping while I lay next to him browsing my phone. I was using his arm as a pillow but I moved to rest my head on his shoulder. As I shift his arm instinctively curl around neck with extreme speed and force, like he was putting me in a headlock, IN HIS SLEEP. Alarmed, I reach up and pinch his arm, hard, to wake him. Still sleeping, he lets go. I tell him loudly, “You choked me!”

    “Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I’m so sorry baby” he keeps muttering. He turns towards me, hugs me, and falls back asleep.

    Even though it’s over with, I can still feel where his arm had pressed against my neck. I can’t decide if I should wake him up and make a big deal out of it or not. I decide to not because he has to wake up early tomorrow for work.

    The next day I asked him about it and he has no idea what I am talking about!!!
