Prepare yourself for a hybrid Chinese & Western wedding with a lot of surprises, good food, drinks, fun and ...chaos? (Unfortunately, both of us are getting married for the first time so we don't know what to expect exactly 🤫)
We have activities throughout the day for guests to enjoy (more details soon). The main event that you don't want to miss is the dinner reception.
