Here I am in Seoul with finally a moment to spare to look through some pics and blog a little. First off, a post about the wedding! It was great! The bride was gorgeous, the groom was such a sweetheart, no one fainted or fell into the cake (as far as I know) and I even got to do a little Greek dancing before we had to take off like a shot for the airport.

Speaking of which! I knew NY drivers were crazy, but I didn't know they were THAT crazy. Here I was, driving like a MADWOMAN down Route 15 to get to JFK, and I was going at least a good 10-15 over the speed limit of 55 down this curvy 2 lane, treelined highway with no street lights. I normally never speed, but darnit, I was not about to miss that plane. So as crazed as I was, you'd think that everyone else would pale in comparison...but no. Not at all. Apparently it's just cool there to drive with your brights on all the time, regardless of the other cars on the road. And if you're already going 15 over, in the fast lane, apparently it's also totally cool to continuously flash your brights and honk that you get out of the way for someone who needs to go at LEAST 35 over the limit. I flipped my mirror down and tried to stay out of the view of my other mirror as much as possible so I could actually SEE the road I was driving on. Yikes. I'm still sort of amazed I made it in one piece.



Here's Julie, Carl's (Lianna's older brother) new bride. She was a great help the whole day. She helped me take suitcases to my new rental car, and she came with me to the rental place to get the car too. When the lady came to pick us up, she looked all around for us even though we were right there. She thought we were way too young to have rented a car and went looking for people who looked over 16. That just cracked me up. I hope that still works when I'm 50. :P

Me and Lianna! I miss her already....sniff!

A pic of the dress I hung from this tiny plastic tag holding the curtains together. Glad it wasn't a heavy dress!

Lianna getting into her amazing dress.

Happy bride having help putting on the finishing touches.

Father of the bride holding Lianna's niece, the flower girl. Hisung took this one, isn't he good?!

Me walking down the aisle with Kevin. Hisung obviously took this one too. :P

A ceremony shot with the wedding crowns. Hisung was very diligent in taking pictures while I was up there.

Another one of Hisung's shots. Am I surprised he did a close up of me instead of the whole party? Not really. But he did shoot some of the whole party too. :)

So in love....

Hisung looking very nice. :)

Hisung and Carl. He got to know the guys a little better because he stayed with them the night before the wedding and hung out with them all day until the wedding.

Here's one of the whole wedding party at the reception site. Thanks to Hisung again. :)

And one of just me and Hisung

And here we caught Carl enjoying his sister's bouquet. And yes, yes this will be facebook blackmail Carl. :P

Make a wish Olivia!

And finally, a pic of the four of us right before we were Seoul bound.

Phew! That was a LOT of pictures! But I got one more post down, so yays! Next up, adventures from Seoul! So stay tuned boys and girls!

   Great pictures and a beautiful bride. You and Hisung tower over the newly married couple! Hisung did a good job taking pictures - how many pics do you have for the wedding?
   Hope you are adjusting to your new time zone and exploring lots of new things!
   Love, MOM
