Hello Friend and Family from Beijing,

As you guys are probably aware that I am currently in Beijing with Vicky and her family. After carefully reviewing our situation, we decided to continue with our wedding as planned so both Vicky and I will both be back in Seattle on December 29th. The wedding will continue as planned on February 5th and We will hope to see everyone there.

An update on Vicky’s father’s condition. Mr Hu’s condition is stable and making good recovery progress from the surgery. The fever has finally gone away and he is started to eat a little bit. He is making progress, slow progress, but he’s making progress. Please still continue to keep him in your prayers.

Once again, we hope to see everyone on February 5th, 2011. Please start booking your flight and hotel rooms as soon as possible. If you need any assistance in where to stay, please let use know. Because of the recent events, we will talk to the local hotels once we get back to Seattle to see about a group rate, if there are interests.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding.

God Bless and have a Merry Christmas!!!

Min and Vicky

Hello Friends and Family,
It has been a while since we updated the website and updated everyone on our wedding planning progress. The reason for the lack of update is because there has been a family emergency in China for Vicky. Vicky’s Father was diagnosed with stomach cancer and had to had his entire stomach removed. He is currently still slowly recovering. Vicky has been in China since Thanksgiving and will probably not return until the New Year. Please keep Vicky’s father in your prayers.

With that said, as of right now, I am continuing to plan for our wedding to be on Feburary 5th, 2011. However, if Vicky’s father’s situation doesn’t improve, there is a chance that we may postpone of our wedding. We will be sure to keep everyone updated. Once again, I am sorry for this inconvience.

As I stated earlier, I am still moving forward with the existing date and the current plan and I am planning to send out our formal invitations this week. So Please update your addresses on our website ASAP so I can send out our wonderful invitation to you.

As that bride invited, I headed back to the social hall with my wedding PM on the day after (Sat afternoon). It was raining and windy, which reminded me that I could get married at the exact same weather on Feb 5th. Oh…do not want to think about it.

We arrived a bit late around 4:30pm and the party was just over. However, this second visit made me go through further detailed information with my PM, including audio, layout, etc. My PM even drew a layout draft for me. Please see it below:
