Your wedding pics are absolutely beautiful! You looked very HAPPY and GORGEOUS!!! I love the pics and the whole wedding summary done by your photographer. I hope you're going to have a lot of albums because I can tell that all your photos will look nice. I love the chinese gown on you. The color looked very nice. Your hair and makeup came out very nice too. Not as extreme as you made it sound like. hehe. The wedding gown was beautiful too. That's the one we liked right? Can't wait to see the rest of the photos and once again, sorry we missed out on such a party! SUSU!!!! Your wedding pics are absolutely beautiful! You looked very HAPPY and GORGEOUS!!!

Camera crews? TV? 500 guests? Chinese Opera! Who knew you would grow up to be so famous SuSu?!!! The last picture of your parents was especially fun for me to see. They have not changed one bit, in fact they look younger and happier than ever! They must be so proud of their beautiful daughter and handsome new son-in-law. Congratulations to you both!

The love between you and Dan, the tradition, and your families. You are absolutely stunning. In my next life I'd like to come back as a member of your family. : ) After the Olympics I thought I wanted to come back as a Jamaican sprinter but I am rethinking the whole thing. You sure look like your mother, Yansu. Both dresses were lovely. I am glad you chose red. My favorite would have been the groomsmen in the granny panties. Looks like a fun time was had by all. Be glad I was not there. I would have cried my eyes out hearing Dan propose in Mandarin. Very touching. OK. So, that made me cry. The love between you and Dan, the tradition, and

That was incredible description of what your wedding was like. I loved the write up the photographer did as well. I read your notes too. The celebrity treatment (local news cameras)was a surprise to read about. Can't wait to see more photos. You both look phenominal. Oh mY gosh!!!

The look on Dan's face when Susu came down the stairs made me get misty-eyed and it was wonderful to capture. I feel very honored to have been there for you both. Thank you for sharing every moment from 7am until Midnight. There was Double-Happiness for everyone! My favorite photo to take at any wedding is the one of the groom when he first sees his bride.

I love the pictures of me in these dresses. I did not fully appreciate the colors in my Chinese dress until I saw this photo. Connie at Ling's Photography & Bridal Services in Oakland helped me for hours to pick out the fabric. She told me this color red complemented my skin tone the best out of all the reds she had in the store. I also spent a lot of time picking out the white dress, thanks to all my girlfriends from all over the world who helped me decide after looking at numerous photos for two weeks straight. I have to admit, the “SuSu trivia” was a total setup. We made the questions extra tricky so that Dan would get it wrong. How else would I get my 4 new brothers to wear women's underwear. haha... Besides, I read some where the Chinese wedding is all about torturing the groom and his brothers for the entire day. I was nice though. I didn't make them eat nasty stuff. Although I heard the egg and date soup was a torture to eat. I guess I'm use to it, so it's not torture for me. I know Matt was not too happy when my mom said "you have to eat it too." Sorry Matt! I wish someone took a picture of you and Suzanne eating the egg too. The Chinese paparazzi was crazy. I had a smile on my face, but I was feeling quite irritated with all those cameras in my face, too many questions, and making me translate under pressure. Now I know what it feels like to be a star. =P The picture of Dan and his frat brothers are awesome! These guys are great. I've gotten to know some of them over the years, and they are the nicest and goofiest frat brothers ever. It was so much fun traveling with all of them. I love Dan's uniquely designed Chinese shirt and my traditional Chinese dress together. Even though we didn't intend on matching and got them at different places, the colors matched perfectly. The picture of me, Dan and our brothers is so cool. I'm so glad we had a few minutes to do some fun shots. We bought those gold ties right before we went to Shanghai to start the two week trip. They look fantastic on everyone. The store in Quanzhou only had two, we had to get the other 3 flown in from Hong Kong. When I saw the picture of Dan and I blown up to be the backdrop, I couldn't help but laugh my butt off. We had no idea! We even talked about much we did not want something like this. Somehow, someone managed to make it happen regardless. I love the last photo of mom, mom, and dad. They look so happy. Thanks again Matt & Suzanne. These pictures bring back so many fun memories.

You knew more about our wedding cake than we did. Dan and I were just wondering the other day who got a piece of cake, because we never saw it again after we cut it. haha... I got all excited just from reading the blog, and I was there. =) I LOVE, LOVE ALL THE PHOTOS. I don't know how else to describe it other than you've captured all my emotions throughout the day. You got the best shot from every event throughout the 16 hour day. And the colors are incredible. It's shocking to see how large the wedding looks from the photos, and how many other photographers and tv crews you guys had to fight with to take our pictures. You guys did a fantastic, excellent, and tremendous job for your first experience in China and dealing with the crazy locals. I can't wait to see the rest of photos. I will forever be thankful for you two capturing our special day. SuSu SuSu Matt and Suzanne
