The wedding day was held on the hottest weekend in Sacramento. Sweat and all, we managed to have fun. I truly enjoyed being around Noel and Maggie.....Maggie with her neverending warm smile and Noel's courteous demeanor. You guys made me feel like we're old friends. The Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament was beautiful and so were the people who helped celebrate this special occasion. After the ceremony, because the weather was so uncomfortable, we decided to go indoors to take photos. We then headed to Maggie's sister's house for the traditional Chinese Ceremony. The bride was wearing her red Chinese gown. Gorgeous!! And, let's not forget about the jewelry and red envelops that they received from their family. Mrs. Ho gave me one, too. Thanks!!! Noel, who's Filipino, wore the traditional Filipino formal attire called "Barong Tagalog". During the Chinese ceremony, he kept trying to speak a Chinese phrase---and, as a result, brought giggles and down right laughter in the room. The reception was at the Firehouse Restaurant in Old Sacramento. The dinner and party took place outdoors. I was surprised the temperature was quite pleasant under the huge trees that covered the reception area. I was so glad that Maggie and Noel agreed to take more photos and, as a result, we shot some pretty awesome photos. I have to give kudos to Chris, the coordinator/friend/groomsman, who did a fabulous job coordinating everything and kept the party fun. His toast to the bride and groom was hilarious. Maggie you did a great job with the small details at the reception. Noel and Maggie, you are an amazing couple. **Click here** to view their slideshow.
