This weekend we had the pleasure of going to the wedding of two friends Eric met through work.
Eric met Xindi and Arturo in 2008 while they were all in Houston for a 3-month long training...which is how Xindi and Arturo met. After the training, Eric moved back to NY for work and Danny (Eric's brother) ended up becoming Arturo's roommate. We were so honored to receive an invite for this wedding. Xindi is originally from China and Arturo is originally from Peru. It was such an international event with their respective families from China and Peru, including a wedding and reception-long skype call with Xindi's grandparents in China, friends from all over the US and world, complete with a special drink from Peru and traditional tea ceremony (dress and all).
It couldn't have been a more perfect day up at Lake Conroe. There was a slight breeze and the temperature was perfect for the evening ceremony.

Danny had the honor of being an usher as well as the MC announcing the wedding party as well as explaining the tea ceremony. He's got a great voice....a side-career for the future perhaps?

Arturo's parents were the cutest. They handed out such great favors, shot glasses from Peru with their names on it. His parents were distributing them to everyone so proudly.
Danny caught the garter!
