Our wedding video - finally!

Yay! The wedding video is here!

We're thankful that our videographer, Yves, was able to capture a lot of timeless moments. Unfortunately, not all of them. We looked at a lot of videographers' work in Taiwan, and his style is one of the best. For some reason, the outdoor shots doesn't look as good though, be sure to adjust your monitor settings, as it's easy to get "wash-out" if your monitor is set too bright. Hopefully, he can fix that when he's not as rushed. But we wanted our friends and family to see the event, especially those that weren't able to be there.

Did you notice the little cards attached to the flowers during the last part of the video where friends and family were handing them to Sharon? What especially added to this touching moment was that they have messages from Sharon's wonderful friends and relatives!

And we wanted to take this opportunity to give BIG thank you to Debra 楊美玲 (celebration.com.tw), who was in charge of the MC & wedding coordination. The card & flower idea wouldn't have happened without her input and help. She was a pleasure to work with, and did a superb job! Overall, she added a lot of value to our wedding making it a memorable event for everyone!

Our wedding pictures!

So excited to get our pictures back! We have close to 800 pictures...enough to make your eyes go blurry. Don't worry, we try our best to trim it down and reduce to only 500 or so. And then we further separate them into 3 sections, so you can skip to the section that you're most interested in.

If you're interest in a particular photo, you can click on the "X" to stop the slideshow. And then find the pic, then click on "download picture" to get it in high resolution.

But the way, here's an interesting tidbit:

You know how they said you learn something new everyday? Well, Sharon has been teaching Frank various Chinese words throughout the years. Thinking back, there are words that are often used, and some that are rarely used. But you know, it wasn't until the wedding day that it dawn on Frank that there's ONE word which Sharon never taught him. So imagine....here's Frank on their wedding day, standing there kinda nervous not knowing exactly what people are saying... with a blank stare in his face...as Sharon whisper: KISS!

Lastly, have to give credit where credit is due. Our photographer, Stanley 順仔, has been GREAT! Highly recommended! He took the time to meet with us about a week before the wedding, and took note of what we like & our concerns. And the quality of his work, you can judge for yourself. Overall, can't say enough good things about him & his talent. Find more info about him in Link1 or www.wedding-scene.com.tw.

Wedding Slideshow

Here's our growing up slideshow shown at our wedding. Sharon gets the credit for finding the absolute *perfect* song...It's from "Michael Learn to Rock" - "I'll be around". Frank gets the pleasure of putting together the rest of the video; thus, viewing it much more times than anybody else.

30 more days to go...

Wow... time goes by fast. Only 1 more month to go. As you might know, Frank has been in US for the last couple of months, while Sharon is in Taiwan. You know how they say... Absence makes the heart grows fonder!! Maybe there's some truth to that, don't you think so? It's actually not as bad as it sounds, as we still keep in touch constantly. Of course, it'll be so great to be together once again. Frank is flying out on the 1st, but not getting there till the 3rd...so only a couple more days away...yay! (On the other hand, packing the luggage...urgh... not looking forward to that!)

Displaying Chinese:
So we saw this blog on a friend's computer, and notice that there's little square characters instead of where the Chinese characters are. So in case you want to read the Chinese but weren't able to, follow the instructions here: Displaying Chinese on WinXP

Pictures:
We were able to see the proofs several months before, but we finally started to get some of the shots back. They're going to be shown in the wedding, so I don't want to ruin the "thrill" of seeing it for the first time by posting it here. ...at least not now, we'll post it afterwards along with other pics/videos.

Anyways, let's try something a little fun... Which background below looks better? Not that we are great with colors & design in the first place, but after looking at pictures of ourselves for so long, everything started to blur together.

Glamour Shots

We just took our "glamour shots" wedding photos yesterday. It was a really long day... starting from 8am till around 10:30pm; but despite the long hours, it was loads of fun and quite enjoyable. The photographers and the staff are a pleasure to work with. And they have a lot of patience, as many pictures have to be re-taken because Frank eye's blink just as the flash goes off. At any rate, we can't wait to see the photos when they're ready. In the meantime, here are a few pics that we took from our own camera.
