Our 3rd Wedding Anniversary plus Happy Mid Autumn Festival

Yay! Hong Kong people is all celebrating to us! Its public holiday today for the Big Moon and our 3rd Marriage! I'm so happy with my Charles for the all years we have had together:) He is my love, my life my everything!

 We kick start our celebration in a different way, we don't have a romantic restaurant to celebrate and it is our first time we celebrate in Hong Kong. How lucky we are. We ran to the dragon back trail to enjoy our sip of camel bag water and banana (HOT) for around an hours and down to the Shek O road to our favorite beach!

 A short rest overlooking the other side of the island south. Beautiful weather:) Just loving the rocky trail so much. Charlie is super strong today, he take the lead...I'm happy to follow:)

Arrived our favourite beach - Shek O with super clear water. We both jump in to take a short breakin the wave......lovely! 

Then, here we come to our HOME SWEET HOME to spent the lazy afternoon, just lying on Sofa, watching TV, talks....while i made my first time Cup Cake for celebration and preparing our home dinner. Happy is just simplest is that....

Love you forever, Charles! My sweetheart always........

Letter from Ann, My Aunt

首先, 要感謝 Charles & GiGi 的誠意邀請, 讓我有此榮幸能夠蒞臨現場參與及

見證一個, 場面感人、場景浪漫、氣氛溫馨且甜蜜的婚禮.

更要多謝他倆的兄弟姐妹團,不辭勞苦, 遠道而來,協助籌備婚禮,使整個婚禮無

論在場地的佈置、娛樂的遊戲、答謝的禮物、氣氛的帶動..等等, 真的可以用''無

懈可擊''來形容 .是你們這班好友,兄弟姐妹團的落力幫忙,才令一個這麼感人的婚

禮更出色、精彩,感動!同時,在整個過程,我深深體會和感受到父母情、兄弟情、

姐妹情及友情間的濃厚情誼.當我看見兩位母親望向一對新人的神情,似是充滿了

熱切期待、滿足、慈愛欣喜,在那一刻,我真的深深被感動了!

珍惜擁有的愛. Eric& Alanie 也忘我地協助哥哥和姐姐的婚宴,真是難能可貴. 好

幸福的一對新人啊!

幾乎是一個完美的婚禮,唯一的''缺憾美''就是因為我(大頭蝦阿姨),忘記吃藥,以

致身體出現異狀,接著又發生一段''小插曲'', 讓大家擔心, 真的深感內疚!在此, 我

真誠向你們:

親家許生、許太、姐姐、姐夫、 Charles、 GiGi、 Eric、 Alanie 及眾親友 ,

Lusan Mandongus

I wake up this morning at 5A.M. I cannot sleep, as i know i have to confirm which dress is most presented me today! I search on the net again and again, i know i love the vintage lace and with a empire A-line dress would best describe me. So i decided Lusan Mandongus would have the dress that make me confidents with Ah Sa supported! hahahaa...

Actually i have been trying so many of them from every SAT. with myself first, Ah Sa and my mom and sister.

But the dress i confirmed today is the one they all never seen! I make a big risk of confirmation! I have no ideas why i would say this dress, i just like it! Will post some photos here soon.

But they have to customade the dress, the earlist time the dress will arrived Hong Kong would be Mid-August! Hope everythings is fine....
