My Niece's Wedding, Part 2


Erin's wedding to her fiance, Julius Park, was held at the Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club, overlooking the St. Lucie River in Stuart, Florida. The wedding ceremony was held in a covered pavillion overlooking the water. Although it was a bit breezy, the ceremony went off without a hitch! Being from opposite coasts, Erin is from the East and Julius is from the West, they performed a "Sand" Ceremony. Each gathered sand from their respective coasts and poured it together into a vase to mix it. Thought it was beautifully symbolic.



After the ceremony, the guests were entertained by a steel drum player and the a group of very friendly (well, expect for one) McCaws and Cockatoos. Pictured here are my three children and their cousin, Aly.
There was also a slide show set up inside, documenting both Erin and Julius' lives from birth to present. While we were enjoying the cocktail hour, Erin and Julius were getting changed into traditional Korean wedding celebration dress, called "homboks", which was a wonderful tribute to Julius' Korean heritage.


Following the cocktail hour, we had a sit-down dinner, Erin and Julius cut their wedding cake, and we danced the rest of the night away!
