On Saturday, July 29, 2000, Alvin and I got married in a beautiful little chapel down in Myrtle Beach, SC! After our honeymoon, we headed back home to settle in to married life. A couple weeks later, we held a much larger reception, at Massanutten Resort, for all our friends and family, especially those who could not make it down for the ceremony. We really loved the way everything turned out! We were able to wear our wedding finery one more time and we were also able to show the video of our ceremony to all our guests. The best part is that because it was after the honeymoon, we were so much more relaxed and able just to hang out with all of our friends and family.
Here are some pics from the reception.
