The Happy Park Family: Adam & Lindsay's Wedding

On June 28th, my brother, Adam, and his fiance, Lindsay, had their wedding. The wedding was held at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club in Stevensville, MD. It was located right across the Bay Bridge. We were a little worried because of all the traffic on the Bay Bridge and the severe thunderstorm that passed by a couple hours before the ceremony. Everything worked out except for the extreme heat and humidity. The ceremony was very beautiful and the reception was very memorable.

This was Emma's first time as a flower girl. Unfortunately, for her and for me, she had a fever starting a couple days before the wedding and she was under the weather. She didn't want to do anything. All she wanted was for me to hold her the entire time. It was a pretty exhausting day for everyone.

"I'm feeling a little better but keep the Tylenol and Motrin coming."

"I don't want to stand up anymore. Someone come pick me up please."

"Let me take a quick picture with Uncle Henry."

"Mommy, stay close to me. Don't go anywhere."

"20 some years from now, this will be my wedding."

"Daddy was so happy the ceremony was short. It was just way too hot!!"

"Mommy, it's much cooler in here. I look like I just took a bath."

Adam and Lindsay decided to do the Korean traditional pae bak ceremony at their wedding. It is a wine ceremony where you pour wine and bow to the groom's side of the family. In the picture above, the Mother and Father of the Groom throw chestnuts and dates to symbolize the bride and grooms future children. The bride and groom need to catch the chestnuts and dates that are thrown. The number of chestnuts they catch symbolizes the number of daughters they will have. The number of dates symbolizes the number of sons.

We have a large family, so the bride and groom had to do a lot of bowing. It's okay though since they got money each time.

The bride and groom share a date.

Don't they look so cute?

Now the groom has to carry his bride.

I couldn't wait to get out of my Korean hanbok. It was soooo hot! Emma wanted to get out of her flower girl dress as well. Here we are with Grandma Norma.

Emma finally lets her Aunt Lindsay hold her for a quick dance.

Song looks a little drunk here.

The cake cutting. Yes, the cake was small. They did a small cake and had cupcakes to go with it. This was a smart idea. Some wedding places have a cake cutting charge per slice.
