Honyemoon Part II

The day after our wedding, we hopped on a plane and started our honeymoon. Long before that moment, in fact before we were engaged, we have discussed where we would go for honeymoon. My wife loves China so much she always wanted to go back and visit parts she has not been to before. For me, I haven't set foot in China since I was a teenager and have two elderly grandparents that I must visit. So we've decided to go back to my hometown, Guangzhou.

But to add to the trip, we decided to first stop in Hong Kong for a bit since everyone should visit HK at least once in their life time to see what the jizz is about. Well, I've been there as a child so I thought it would be a good trip for my wife. Anyways, our flight was with Korean Air with a layover at Seoul. The flight was long and while the flright attendants did a good job I was still really tired when we landed in Seoul to transfer onto another flight. Despite how tired I was, the Seoul airport still amazed me. It's probably the biggest and most comprehensive airport I've ever been to. Just imagine it as being an airport terminal + hotel + shopping mall + ice skating ring. Not to mention the large number of restaurants in there and all the Hello Kitty stores. They certainly know how to make your trip feel shorter in Korea.

Wedding & Honeymoon, Part I

So we are back from our honeymoon to Hong Kong and Guangzhou. It was a long trip since the flight was near 24 hours each way when you include lay-over time. Anyways, I suppose I should write about the wedding first before we get to the honeymoon part.

I don't remember if I've told you all before, but our wedding was at the zoo. Originally, we were going to have our ceremony at the Gorilla deck then reception at the Panda's place. But the day of the wedding, we've checked the weather and it turns out it would get really chilly at night. In order to avoid making everyone miserable, we would have to move the reception indoors. When we first signed our contract with the zoo, they've told us that once we've decided to move our wedding indoors, we would have to move both the ceremony and the reception indoors. That would have been terrible since we paid a small fortune of money to put red lanterns up in the Panda's place and the color there (i.e. red & gold) resembles the theme of our wedding and matches Lisette's dress perfectly. Fortunately, I was able to convince the zoo to set up the ceremony in the Panda's and move only the reception indoors. It worked out perfectly at the end!

Here is a sneek peek of what it looked like. Enjoy!
