Surprise... We Got Married!!

Apr 14 2010

On Sunday March 28 at 2pm, our guests, believing they were about to attend an engagement party, began arriving at our beautiful backyard picnic.  One hour into the proceedings we shocked them with a surprise wedding ceremony!

The looks of astonishment and delight on the faces of our guests were pure gold.

After 10 years of friendship, in which the last 4 years we were an inseparable couple, Mark and I finally got married! 

This series of photos by Jonathan Ong depict our first kiss as husband and wife.

Stay tuned for more details and photos from the event. This is only part one in a series of posts!

    Wow! congratulations! What a way to do it, it had to be a lot less stressful that the long, drawn out planning and such that is usually done. If i ever get married, I'm thinking that's the way to do it!

    The <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/personal-loans">personal loans</a> seem to be very useful for people, which want to organize their own company. As a fact, this is easy to get a auto loan.
