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.

Our Love Story

Sharon and Frank have been friends since college. When they first met, neither of them actually made a strong impression on each other. The first memorable event was a dance held by the Chinese Student Association in college. Both of them went with separate dates, but they carpooled. Frank was the driver, but his car was being repaired after an accident, so they rode in Sharon car instead. And that night, they had their first dance together. As they both graduated from college and started working in Atlanta, they grow to be closer friends; but they still did not date at that time.

In 2000, Frank moved to Bay Area, and it was not until several months after that did they realize how much they miss each other. They kept in touch via ICQ, and found many excuses to visit each other. Before they knew it, a long distance relationship has developed. As many people know, long distance relationships can be difficult and many do not last. They consider themselves lucky; in that, the time apart taught them how to communicate better with each other, be more patience with each other, and treasure the time they have together. And while they might be thousands of miles apart, it doesn’t prevent their heart and spirit to be close together.


After several years, Sharon took the plunge and decided to move to the Bay Area also, so they were finally able to be closer. While they are together, they both enjoy hanging out with friends, hosting get-togethers, going out to eat, camping, and watching movies at home. They also like to go rollerblading and dancing, although they just because they like them do not necessarily imply that they are good at either of those activities. They also like to take trips and visit other places. Some of the memorable ones are trips to LA, and trips to Disney in Florida, to Vegas and Grand Canyon, to Hong Kong, and of course, Taiwan.


Since Sharon is from Taiwan, and her whole family is still there, she decided to move back around this time last year. Meanwhile, Frank has been “domesticated” after so long in US. Not being able to read nor write the language, and barely able to speak, it was a gut-wrenching decision for him. Nevertheless, he followed his heart (and maybe his stomach too), and decided to take the plunge. Within a month, he has also moved to Taiwan, and then really “taking the plunge” -- proposing another month later. They both feel blessed that they are able to afford to take this time away from work, and spent it with people that they love and care about the most – their family. ...click to read more
