The only slow song that played that night was the last song.  Unfortunately, I don't remember what the DJ played for the last song, but many took the chance to slow it down after the craziness.  Isn't everyone so cute?




I couldn't believe that it was all over. The day flew by!  Before this day, I was afraid of what hiccups might occur throughout the day, but everything went as planned.  I couldn't have been more satisfied with how everything went.

When the song ended, I wasn't prepared for what was about to happen.  I didn't really plan on who was going to clean up and who was going to be responsible for bringing back my belongings and other wedding related items.  So, family and friends started helping me out.  I think most people took home the table cards which had pictures of Roger and me from our engagement shoot in NYC.  I believe all the table card holders were pretty much gone as well. I wanted to save those and sell them, but no such luck.  There was only one box of white wine left. HAH! Then there were some extra favors, flower arrangements, bouquets, menus, and you can't forget all my dresses, shoes, and accessories.  I wish I had a picture of what my wedding gown looked like at the end of the night.  My mom basically took a big plastic bag and stuffed my dress in it.  Of course, my parents took care of all the red envelopes and cards guests gave me.  We would open them together the next night.  Overall, it was a little more hectic then I wanted it to be, but everything was picked up and brought back to my parents' home in Malden (currently my home, but we'll save that for another post.)

This sounds like the end of the night, but it wasn't.  I was really tired and actually had second thoughts about whether or not I wanted to go.  However, I realized that I had so many out-out-town guests who came to Boston to continue partying and celebrating with me, so how could I not go?  We were now off to the after-party at Felt...

Since we did not have any silly Chinese wedding games planned (thank goodness), this next activity was an excellent touch of entertainment.  We absolutely did not plan this at all, and it was our DJ who really spearheaded this "game."  When the guests started clinking their glasses for us to kiss, our DJ got on the mic and asked something along the lines of, "Is that all you can do?" 

She ended up requesting our guests to volunteer themselves to come up to the dance floor and show us how the kiss should be done.  There was hesitation from the audience at first.  I saw people yelling at each other and urging each other to go up.  Finally, the first brave ones came on to the dance floor - Sarah and Chris.  I've known Sarah for about five years now since we did Teach For America.  She and her husband Chris flew to Boston from Wisconsin, and I believe they were just about to move back to New Mexico too. So it was very special to me that they made the trip out to Boston for my big day.  Our DJ had them stand across the dance floor from each other.  She told them that they had to dance across the dance floor to each other before they could kiss.  They were so cute, and Chris was hilarious.

This wasn't enough though.  We wanted to make our guests work harder for our kiss.  So who's up next?  Jill and Jamie! Jill was a former Gund Kwok sister.  Jill and Jamie actually recommended our DJs to us! YAY! Apparently, our DJ did the same game at their wedding, so they decided to dance across the room to each other again!

We weren't done just yet! There was a bit of a pause about who was brave enough to come out next.  Again, I saw people yelling at each other to come onto the dance floor.  I looked at Alisa and Chris since I knew they wanted to come up.  Later on, Alisa told me that once I locked eyes on her, she knew she had to come up. This duo was great! Congrats to them on the new baby on the way!   BGC are all going to be aunties!

Finally, my DJ asked for dancers of the older generation.  I started looking around the room, and I don't know who suggested this next couple, but I'm so glad he/she did.  At first the woman didn't want to, but we kept pushing her out there while the man was up and ready to go.  Who was this couple? My parents!

I love the way Roger and I react in all of these photos, but especially in the ones with my parents.  I couldn't stop laughing.  When the music started and my dad started dancing, the whole room roared with laughter.  He started doing this weird-jumping-arm-moving dance that I've never seen before.  You can even see my sister and matron of honor Joyce out of her seat enjoying the show.  I don't think I've ever laughed so hard.  It was amazing.  My mother was so cute too.  She did this little step and moved her arms a bit.  She did that all the way across the room and just stared and smiled at my dad the whole way.  The best part was that when they actually met each other in the middle of the dance floor, he kept stealing kisses.  He would pull my mom's head towards him quickly, kiss her, and then resumed the dancing move.  He did this a few times!  Of course, who has to go next? Roger's parents!

Roger's dad was very suave and everyone loved him too.  What's up with the dads and their cool moves? Mommy Liu also did the little step, but she was laughing at Dad the whole way she was dancing towards him.  The funny part was that he was so focused on dancing that he forgot to kiss her, so Roger and I kept yelling out in Chinese, "Kiss! Kiss!"

So that was it for the guests.  It was now time for us to get up there and show our moves.  I had no idea what we were about to do, but I loved how random it was.  We took our places and the music started.  I believe the song was Macho Man.  Here we are....


Yeah, it was pretty random, but pretty funny. Don't ya think?

After all that dancing.....Happy Family! Awwww!

It was almost 10:00pm at this time, and we had to be done by 11pm.  So, at this time, we opened up the dance floor.  Our guests thought they were just going to normally dance for the last hour, but little did they know, we had another surprise in store for them....
