mark & mai tied the knot!! the whole wang clan headed down to sunny san diego to celebrate mark and mai's wedding...we left wednesday night and the festivities started thursday. scott planned an ALL DAY event for mark's bachelor party so he literally was gone from 7am to 1:30am the following day...i don't have any pictures from it but i'm sure there will be posts on fb somewhere. that evening we joined mom and dad to represent the wang family when meeting mai's parents and sister. it was a GREAT dinner and jill and i had some good laughs just enjoying all the things that come with meeting in-laws for the first time and enjoyed the cultural differences each family brought to the table. mai's family is so sweet and loved getting to know them throughout the weekend.

{friday, we had the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner. mark took charge and did a great job!}

{this one of justin's face cracks me up} saturday, mark and mai set aside the evening to celebrate our sister's birthday at the hash house a go go. this place uses {i kid you not} serving platters for their dishes. if you ever go, no matter how hungry...share a plate! needless to say, we had a fabulous time with family and close friends celebrating jilly's 28th birthday!!

then came the big day!! here are some pictures that were taken either by me or someone else...mai wore a traditional japanese kimono for the ceremony and then changed into her wedding dress. it was one of the sweetest and genuine weddings i've ever been to...congrats to mark and mai!! we love you both so much...
