What can you say about the wedding of a beautiful person, in a beautiful location? She was stunning and the wedding was filled with her style, gracious nature, and warmth.
I loved the fact that the ceremony and reception honored both Nick's Korean family and Karen's Chinese family. The most compelling "take away" from the wedding was the definitive impression that these "two families" were recognizing and overtly solidifying their established bond, as opposed to the typical "two individuals" making statements of "their feelings towards one another" followed by dinner.
The speech that stole the show and left barely a dry eye in the room was when Karen's brother, Daniel, choked back tears in acknowledging Nick's official entrance into the family while sharing his gratitude for having him specifically as the brother he never had.
After the wedding and reception, I drove over to Pearl Harbor to enjoy the sunset over the Arizona Memorial and USS Misssouri.
