HK : Other things we did.

Here are the rest of the HK pictures.  We did lots of fun stuff.

Arriving at the airport.

We've got a lot of luggage!

At Uncle Dominic's

A visit to Ah Tai's house.  She was happy to see us. 

Auntie Kasie and Elle were there too!

No visit to HK is complete without a ride on the Star Ferry.  Too
bad it's so foggy...as it was most days we were there.

New doors on the MTR platform.

HK : Uncle Ryan and Auntie Collette's Wedding

I've been to a couple of weddings, but this one tops them all.  It was a big day, and long too.  We started at 10am at the Tea Ceremony, then the wedding ceremony was at 12:45.  The banquet was much later, so we stayed up well past midnight.  Yikes.  But boy, did we have a good time.

In our fancy tuxedos with Gung Gung.
Tea Ceremony time.

After the tea ceremony, with Auntie Collette
and Uncle Ryan.  Oh, and cousin Elle.

Here they are!  Auntie Collette was dressed like a princess!

My "job" was to take care of Elle.  

I looked out for her.

And made her laugh.

Held her hand

Walked her out.

Made sure she was okay.

With Uncle Ryan.

Crazy good flowers.  

Holding hands with Elle at the cocktail reception

Taking pics with Elle

Look at the size of this place?  600 people? Wowzas.

With Mom!

With Grand Uncle Jeff, Father of the Groom!

Happy couple.  Thanks for a fun time!
